Evaluation of the size of cardiac structures in patients with high body mass index

Evaluation of the size of cardiac structures in patients with high body mass index

Aims Isometric indexation of cardiac structures fails in patients with overweight. The aim of the study was to evaluate the LA indexed volume (LAVOL), left ventricular end‐diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular mass index (LVMI), and the aortic sinus diameter (AOSD) in healthy subjects with no...

Zusammenfassung:Aims Isometric indexation of cardiac structures fails in patients with overweight. The aim of the study was to evaluate the LA indexed volume (LAVOL), left ventricular end‐diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular mass index (LVMI), and the aortic sinus diameter (AOSD) in healthy subjects with normal and high BMI and find the allometric correction exponent. Methods Four hundred and thirty patients without cardiac pathology were analyzed. Patients were divided into groups: Group I BMI
