Reduced lean body mass and cardiometabolic diseases in adult males with overweight and obesity: a pilot study
Cardiology | BW, BMI, FFM, Segmental FFM | S Khazem et al. | 2018 | Lebanon | International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health
Little is known about the reduction in lean body mass (LBM) and its health consequences in overweight and in obesity, especially in males. Therefore, we aimed to assess the prevalence of low LBM in treatment-seeking adult males with overweight and obesity and the association with cardiometabolic diseases, ie, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and dyslipidemia. A body composition assessment was conducted by a bio-impedance analyzer (InBody 170) among a total of 110 males, of whom 72 were overweight and obese …
Bioelectrical impedance analysis in the management of heart failure in adult patients with congenital heart disease
Cardiology | TBW, ECW, ICW, ECW/TBW, BFM, Protein, Mineral | SATO et al. | 2018 | Japan | Congenital Heart Disease
Objective The recognition of fluid retention is critical in treating heart failure (HF). Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a well‐known noninvasive method; however, data on its role in managing patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) are limited. Here, we aimed to clarify the correlation between BIA and HF severity as well as the prognostic value of BIA in adult patients with CHD. Design This prospective single‐center study included 170 patients with CHD admitted between 2013 and 2015. We evaluated BIA parameters (intra …
S-amlodipine plus chlorthalidone vs. S-amlodipine plus telmisartan in hypertensive patients unresponsive to amlodipine monother
Cardiology | TBW, ICW,ECW, ECW/TBW | Jo et al. | 2018 | Korea | Trials
The efficacy of a combination of a calcium channel blocker (CCB) plus chlorthalidone (diuretic) versus a CCB plus an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) in patients not responding to CCB monotherapy has not been evaluated previously. We plan to compare the efficacy and safety of S-amlodipine (CCB) plus chlorthalidone versus S-amlodipine plus telmisartan (ARB) combinations among hypertension patients unresponsive to amlodipine monotherapy. This study is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, parallel …
Amino acid-based metabolic panel provides robust prognostic value additive to B-natriuretic peptide and traditional risk factor
Cardiology | SMM | CH Wang et al | 2018 | Taiwan | Disease Markers
Metabolic disturbances represent functional perturbation in peripheral tissues and predict outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). This study developed an amino acid-based metabolic panel and sought to see whether this panel could add diagnostic and prognostic value to currently used B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) measurements. Mass spectrometry and ultra-performance liquid chromatography were performed on 1288 participants, including 129 normal controls and 712 patients at HF stages A to D in the initial cohort and …
Nutritional status of outpatients with chronic stable heart failure based on serum amino acid concentration
Cardiology | BW, BMI, ECW/TBW, SMI, FMI, BCM, Minerals | S. Tsuji et al. | 2018 | Japan | Journal of Cardiology
Background Loss of skeletal muscle mass and low nutritional status are major complications of severe chronic heart failure (CHF) and have been associated with poor prognosis. This study aimed to identify the nutritional status of outpatients with CHF based on their body composition, such as skeletal muscle index (SMI) and serum amino acid concentration. Methods We compared the body composition data and results of blood samples, including the serum amino acid concentration, of patients with CHF and those of controls. Results No …
Effects of different modes of exercise training on body composition and risk factors for cardiovascular disease in middle-aged
Cardiology | BW, BMI, FFM, PBF | Mohammadi, et al. | 2018 | Iran | International Journal of Preventive Medicine
Background: Previous studies have indicated that exercise training improves body composition and cardiovascular disease risk factors. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of 12 weeks of aerobic, strength and combined training on body composition, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and C-reactive protein (CRP) in sedentary middle-aged men. Methods: Forty-seven male aged 40–60 years voluntarily participated in this study and were divided in four …
