目的探讨肥胖对青年肥胖女性左心室(LV)结构和功能的影响。背景：老年肥胖持续严重，可导致血浆容量增加、离心性左心室肥厚、收缩和舒张期功能障碍。肥胖女性患心力衰竭的风险更高。方法对51名女性进行评估：20名肥胖(体重指数(BMI)大于或等于30 kg/m(2))，31名非肥胖(BMI
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to determine the effects of obesity on left ventricular (LV) structure and function in young obese women.BACKGROUND Severe prolonged obesity in older adults results in increased plasma volume, eccentric LV hypertrophy, and systolic and diastolic dysfunction. Obese women are at increased risk for the development of heart failure. However, the effects of the obesity on cardiac structure and function in young, otherwise-healthy women are controversial.METHODS Fifty-one women were evaluated: 20 were obese (body mass index [BMI] greater than or equal to30 kg/m(2)) and 31 were non-obese (BMI
