Weight Loss and Heart Failure
BACKGROUND Associations of obesity with incidence of heart failure have been observed, but the causality is uncertain. We hypothesized that gastric bypass surgery leads to a lower incidence of heart failure compared with intensive lifestyle modification in obese people. METHODS We included obese people without previous heart failure from a Swedish nationwide registry of people treated with a ...
متن کاملobesity, heart failure, and obesity paradox

متن کاملObesity, weight reduction and survival in heart failure.
We read with great interest the study by Horwich et al. (1), and while we generally agree with their intriguing findings alluding to better survival with higher body mass index (BMI) among patients with severe systolic heart failure (HF), we strongly object to their conclusions suggesting that promotion of weight loss “may even be potentially harmful.” In a much smaller cohort of patients with ...
متن کاملRisks and benefits of weight loss in heart failure.
Obesity adversely affects many cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and increases the risk of most CVD, including heart failure (HF). HF is markedly increased in the setting of obesity. However, obese patients with HF have a better prognosis than lean patients with HF, which has been termed the obesity paradox. Therefore, the role of weight loss, which generally improves ventricular struct...
