Obesity Is Associated With Pulmonary Hypertension and Modifies Outcomes.

TLDR
Obesity is independently associated with pulmonary hypertension and PH is associated with greater mortality; this is modified by obesity such that obese patients with precapillary PH have lower mortality compared with nonobese counterparts.
Abstract
Background Experimental studies support a link between obesity and pulmonary hypertension (PH), yet clinical studies have been limited. This study sought to determine the association of obesity and...

Obesity Cardiomyopathy: Evidence, Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the evidence for obesity cardiomyopathy is presented, examining putative responsible mechanisms, and discusses therapeutic options for this disorder, which develops independent of hypertension, coronary heart disease, and other heart diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Single-cell profiling of vascular endothelial cells reveals progressive organ-specific vulnerabilities during obesity

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze transcriptomes of ~375,000 ECs from seven organs in male mice at progressive stages of obesity to identify organ-specific vulnerabilities.

Pulmonary Arterial Pruning and Longitudinal Change in Percent Emphysema and Lung Function: The Genetic Epidemiology of COPD Study.

Carrie L. Pistenmaa, +173 more
- 01 Aug 2021 - 
TL;DR: For instance, the authors found that pulmonary arterial pruning was associated with faster progression of emphysema and more rapid decline in FEV1 to FVC ratio over 5 years in ever smokers.

BMI Is Causally Associated With Pulmonary Artery Pressure But Not Hemodynamic Evidence of Pulmonary Vascular Remodeling

TL;DR: Mendelian randomization of the BMI_sGRS supported that higher BMI is causal of higher systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP), and sensitivity analyses showed sPAP∼BMI_SGRS relationship was preserved when either PAH or PVH individuals were excluded.
Journal ArticleDOI

Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension patients with a high H2FPEF-score: Insights from the Amsterdam UMC PAH-cohort.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors performed a retrospective analysis of 253 treatment-naïve idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (iPAH) patients with a confirmed diagnosis after right heart catheterization by a multidisciplinary team.

Haemodynamic definitions and updated clinical classification of pulmonary hypertension.

TL;DR: The 6th WSPH Task Force proposed to include pulmonary vascular resistance ≥3 Wood Units in the definition of all forms of pre-capillary PH associated with mPAP >20 mmHg, and included in group 1 of a subgroup “pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) long-term responders to calcium channel blockers”.

Prevalence of Obesity Among Adults and Youth: United States, 2011-2014.

TL;DR: This report provides the most recent national data on obesity prevalence by sex, age, and race and Hispanic origin, using data for 2011- 2014.

Pulmonary Hypertension in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: A Community-Based Study

TL;DR: Although pulmonary venous HTN contributes to PH, it does not fully account for the severity of PH in HFpEF, suggesting that a component of pulmonary arterial HTN also contributes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phenomapping for novel classification of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated whether unbiased clustering analysis using dense phenotypic data (phenomapping) could identify phenotypically distinct heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) categories.

Clinical Correlates and Reference Intervals for Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure Among Echocardiographically Normal Subjects

TL;DR: Findings support the use of age- and BMI-corrected values in establishing the expected normal range for PASP, which was associated with age, BMI, sex, wall thickness, and ejection fraction among 3790 echocardiographically normal subjects.
