Association Between the Corrected QT Interval and Carotid Artery Intima-Media Thickness in Obese Children
OBJECTIVE Sudden death has been reported in asymptomatic obese adults and the mechanism is unclear. In recent years, obesity has shown a dramatic increase in children and this enhances the risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to investigate whether there is repolarization abnormality and any potential risk factor such as increase in intima-media ...
متن کاملIncreased carotid intima-media thickness and stiffness in obese children.
O besity in childhood increases the risk of atherosclerotic disease and death in adulthood (1). A dramatic increase in overweight among children and adolescents during the past 2 decades has been documented (2). Moreover, overweight children and adolescents have an increased risk of adult obesity (3). A clustering of factors typical of the insulin resistance syndrome has been identified in 5to ...
متن کاملBariatric surgery decreases carotid intima-media thickness in obese subjects.
BACKGROUND Obesity has long been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of substantial weight loss induced by bariatric surgery on carotid intima media thickness (C-IMT) (surrogate marker of early atherosclerosis) and classic factors of cardiovascular risk (CVRFs). METHODS thirty-one obesity patients were evaluated f...
متن کاملInsulin resistance can impair reduction on carotid intima-media thickness in obese adolescents.
BACKGROUND The atherosclerotic process at the endothelial level begins in early ages and seems to be associated with obesity and its comorbidities as insulin resistance. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to verify the influence of insulin resistance on inflammatory and subclinical markers of atherosclerosis in obese adolescents. METHODS Sixty-six post-pubescent obese adolescents were divi...
متن کاملRelationship between C3 levels and common carotid intima-media thickness in overweight and obese patients.
OBJECTIVE The study aim was to compare C3 levels with the common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCAIMT) in subjects of both genders, with a wide range of BMI, independently of age, gender, and abdominal obesity. METHOD 140 euthyroid, mainly overweight/obese subjects (age 18-30 years) were examined. BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting insulin, glucose, lipids, C3 and C-re...
