Journal ArticleDOI
Left ventricular diastolic and systolic function in normotensive obese subjects: influence of degree and duration of obesity
Rosario Scaglione,M. A. Dichiara,A. Indovina,R. Lipari,A. Ganguzza,Gaspare Parrinello,G. Capuana,G. Merlino,G. Licata +8 more
TL;DR: The present study was carried out to evaluate systolic and diastolic parameters in overweight and moderately obese, but otherwise healthy subjects, and in a lean control group, to determine whether degree and duration of obesity can influence left ventricular function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Central Obesity and Hypertension Relationship Between Fasting Serum Insulin, Plasma Renin Activity, and Diastolic Blood Pressure in Young Obese Subjects
Giuseppe Licata,Rosario Scaglione,A. Ganguzza,Salvatore Corrao,M. Donatelli,Gaspare Parrinello,Maria A. Oichiara,G. Merlino,Maria G. Cecala +8 more
TL;DR: The results indicated that increased PRA could play an important role in the development of hypertension in subjects with central obesity.
Journal Article
Central obesity and hypertension: pathophysiologic role of renal haemodynamics and function.
Rosario Scaglione,A. Ganguzza,Salvatore Corrao,Gaspare Parrinello,G. Merlino,M. A. Dichiara,S. Arnone,M D D'Aubert,G. Licata +8 more
TL;DR: Obesity with body fat distribution of central type, more than obesity of peripheral type, is associated to abnormalities in renal haemodynamics and function, consistent with the indication that change in renalHaemodynamics take place at an early stage in the obesity-induced hypertension.
Journal Article
Effect of obesity on left ventricular function studied by radionuclide angiocardiography.
Giuseppe Licata,Rosario Scaglione,Mario Barbagallo,Gaspare Parrinello,G. Capuana,R. Lipari,G. Merlino,A. Ganguzza +7 more
TL;DR: Investigation of central and systemic haemodynamics in overweight and moderate obese, but otherwise healthy subjects, and in a lean control group to determine whether obesity can influence left ventricular performance per se found changes appeared to be related to the degree of obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hemostatic function in young subjects with central obesity: Relationship with left ventricular function
Giuseppe Licata,Rosario Scaglione,Gino Avellone,A. Ganguzza,Salvatore Corrao,S. Arnone,Tiziana Di Chiara +6 more
TL;DR: This study was designed to evaluate coagulation and fibrinolysis activity and their relationship with left ventricular function in young obese subjects with central fat distribution and WHR, and found HDL cholesterol, LVEF, and PFR were significantly lower in obese than in lean subjects.
