CMR stress testing in a patient with morbid obesity (BMI 58 kg/m2) and suspected coronary artery disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Severe obesity is asscociated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) but non-invasive cardiac imaging modalities have important technical limits. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a 58-year old patient with suspected CAD and severely elevated BMI of 58 kg/m2. CONCLUSIONS Stress-CMR was able to non-invasively stratify risk with good imaging quality despite the body dimensions of the patient.

Effects of obesity on outcomes in endoscopically assisted coronary artery bypass operations.
BACKGROUND Obesity has been shown to be an independent risk factor for adverse outcomes and prolonged hospitalization following conventional coronary artery bypass (CAB). For this reason and because of increased technical challenges, obesity has been considered a relative contraindication for minimally invasive bypass. The purpose of this study was to determine if in fact severe or morbid obesi...
متن کاملDoes Body Mass Index Affect Mortality in Coronary Surgery?
INTRODUCTION The Body Mass Index (BMI) quantifies nutritional status and classifies humans as underweight, of normal weight, overweight, mildly obese, moderately obese or morbidly obese. Obesity is the excessive accumulation of fat, defined as BMI higher than 30 kg/m2. Obesity is widely accepted to complicate anaesthesia and surgery, being a risk factor for mediastinitis after coronary artery b...

Methods 123 patients with no obstructive epicardial coronary artery disease, defined by coronary computed tomographic angiogram demonstrating < 30% stenosis, underwent regadenoson CMR 1st-pass perfusion imaging, using 0.05 mmol/kg gadolinium (Gd) followed by rest perfusion imaging (also 0.05 mmol/kg Gd) performed 20 minutes later. The subjects were categorized into 4 groups: normal BMI (between...
متن کاملUsefulness of an accelerated transoesophageal stress echocardiography in the preoperative evaluation of high risk severely obese subjects awaiting bariatric surgery
BACKGROUND Severe obesity is associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). Bariatric surgery is an effective procedure for long term weight management as well as reduction of comorbidities. Preoperative evaluation of cardiac operative risk may often be necessary but unfortunately standard imaging techniques are often suboptimal in these subjects. The purpose of this study ...
متن کاملEffect of laparoscopic sleeve gasterectomy on the quality of life in patients with morbid obesity
Background: During the recent years, much attention has been paid to sleeve gastrectomy (SG). However, it is important to know whether SG really improves the patients' quality of life (QoL). So far, no study has been conducted in Iranian society in this regard. Thus, in the current study, the effects of SG on QoL in Iranian patients with morbid obesity was investigated. Materials and method...
