Obesity, 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 کاملObesity and hypertension: cardiovascular response of weight reduction.
There is a close epidemiological association between obesity and blood pressure for all age groups, although not every obese individual becomes hypertensive. In populations without age-related increases in body weight, an elevation of blood pressure with age is not seen. Treatment of obesity by weight loss decreases blood pressure substantially; however, in a minority of patients blood pressure...

متن کاملEffects of weight-reduction on obesity-associated diseases
Even moderate, but persistent weight-loss ameliorates most of the related diseases in obesity. Besides the consequences of the metabolic syndrome, this includes less well-known obesity-associated changes, such as impaired fertility, menstrual disorders, psychic changes, total leucocyte-count as a parameter of immunity and the impaired pulmonary function in asthma and sleep-apnoea. Life-expectan...
