Gender specific differences in left ventricular remodelling in obesity may explain differences in obesity related mortality

Methods 703 subjects ([female] n= 390, [male] n=313) without identifiable cardiovascular risk factors, (BMI range 15.7-59.2 Kg/M2) underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance at 1.5 Tesla for the assessment of LV mass (g), end-diastolic volume (EDV; ml) and LV mass/volume ratio (LVM/VR). Gender diff...

Description
Summary:Methods 703 subjects ([female] n= 390, [male] n=313) without identifiable cardiovascular risk factors, (BMI range 15.7-59.2 Kg/M2) underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance at 1.5 Tesla for the assessment of LV mass (g), end-diastolic volume (EDV; ml) and LV mass/volume ratio (LVM/VR). Gender differences in relationship between BMI and LV mass (upper panels) and LV EDV (lower panels). [figure omitted; refer to PDF] Conclusions Across both genders, obesity, in the absence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, is characterized by concentric LV hypertrophy.
