Children with obesity have cardiac remodeling and dysfunction: a cine DENSE magnetic resonance imaging study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Obesity affects one in five children in the US and these children tend to maintain excess weight into adulthood. It has recently been shown that childhood obesity is associated with both cardiac remodeling (hypertrophy) and contractile dysfunction. However, the etiology of these cardiac changes is not well understood. We hypothesized that cardiac remodeling and dysfunction could not be entirely explained by elevations in blood pressure and that excess abdominal and epicardial adiposity may also correlate with cardiac changes.

Impaired right ventricular contractile function in childhood obesity and its association with right and left ventricular changes: a cine DENSE cardiac magnetic resonance study
BACKGROUND Pediatric obesity is a growing public health problem, which is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and premature death. Left ventricular (LV) remodeling (increased myocardial mass and thickness) and contractile dysfunction (impaired longitudinal strain) have been documented in obese children, but little attention has been paid to the right ventricle (RV). We hypo...
متن کاملCardiac remodeling and dysfunction in childhood obesity: a cardiovascular magnetic resonance study.
BACKGROUND Obesity affects nearly one in five children and is associated with increased risk of premature death. Obesity-related heart disease contributes to premature death. We aimed to use cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to comprehensively characterize the changes in cardiac geometry and function in obese children. METHODS AND RESULTS Forty-one obese/overweight (age 12 ± 3 years, 56...
متن کاملCardiac and Hepatic T2*-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Abstract Background Iron overload is the main transfusion related side effects in patients with transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathies. Severe iron deposition in tissues leads to organ dysfunction. Many organs can be affected such as heart, liver, and endocrine organs. Cardiac failure and liver fibrosis are the consequent of Iron overload in transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathy. Magne...
متن کاملAmbulatory systolic blood pressure and obesity are independently associated with left ventricular hypertrophic remodeling in children
BACKGROUND Children with obesity have hypertrophic cardiac remodeling. Hypertension is common in pediatric obesity, and may independently contribute to hypertrophy. We hypothesized that both the degree of obesity and ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) would independently associate with measures of hypertrophic cardiac remodeling in children. METHODS Children, aged 8-17 years, prospectively under...
متن کاملIn vivo assessment of cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction in rats by cine-magnetic resonance imaging.
The rat infarct model offers important parallels to the process of remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) in humans. The aim of this study was to test the feasibility of cine fast low-angle shot (FLASH) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for assessment of the infarcted and noninfarcted rat heart and to compare the results with established methods. In group A, MRI was done 8-16 weeks after MI...
