          Abstract

          Resumen Introducción: Analizar las diferentes variables del Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC) en relación con la evolución de la Insuficiencia cardíaca en una Zona de Salud. Material y Métodos: Estudio descriptivo observacional y analítico de los 161 pacientes diagnosticados en la Zona de Salud entre enero de 2014 y diciembre de 2016. Se analizaron datos demográficos, clínicos, y analíticos. Se calculó el IMC a partir del peso y la talla en la primera visita a la consulta, mediante la fórmula: peso (kg) / cuadrado de la talla (m). Una vez obtenido se evaluó la relación entre el IMC y la evolución en 2 años. Se estudió a 4 subgrupos de pacientes, en función de su IMC, a partir de los criterios definidos por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) en 1999: bajo peso (IMC<20,5), peso normal (IMC de 20,5 a <25,5), sobrepeso (IMC de 25,5 a <30) y obesidad (IMC≥30). Resultados: 81 participantes eran obesos (50,8%), 33 hombres y 48 mujeres. La edad media de los obesos fue de 80,32 (9,23) años. Un 62,2% tenía diagnosticado algún tipo de cardiopatía, siendo: 29,2% cardiopatía isquémica; 46,6% arritmias cardiacas y 20,5% valvulopatías. El IMC, como variable continua, se asoció de forma significativa con la mortalidad (p<0,001), la edad (0,002), la enfermedad isquémica (0,001), sexo (0,004), hipertensión (0,002), diabetes (0,003) y dislipemia (0,004). También se vio relación directamente proporcional del IMC con el uso de tratamientos con digoxina, diuréticos de asa y espironolactona. EL IMC también se asoció con el número de ingresos, mayor número de enfermedades crónicas concomitantes y mortalidad. Los pacientes con obesidad obtuvieron peores puntuaciones en el cuestionario de calidad de vida MLWHFQ. Conclusiones: El IMC mostró asociación con la mortalidad, la enfermedad isquémica, el sexo, la hipertensión, diabetes y dislipemia en pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca.

          Abstract Introduction: To analyze the relationship of the Body Mass Index (BMI) with heart failure in a Health Area. Material and Methods: Observational descriptive study of the 161 patients who had been diagnosed in the Health Area between January 2014 and December 2016. Demographic, clinical, and analytical data have been analyzed. The BMI is calculated from the weight and height on the first visit to the consultation, using the formula: weight (in kilograms) / square of height (in meters). Once obtained, the relationship between BMI and evolution in 2 years was evaluated. Four subgroups of patients are studied, based on their BMI, based on the criteria defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1999: low weight (BMI<20.5), normal weight (BMI 20.5 to <25.5), overweight (BMI 25.5 to <30) and obesity (BMI≥30). Results: Of the participants, 81 were obese (50.8%), being 33 men and 48 women. The average age of the obese is 80.32 (9.23) years. The main causes of heart failure in 62.2% had diagnosed some type of heart disease, being: 29.2% ischemic heart disease, 46.6% cardiac arrhythmias and 20.5% valvulopathies. BMI as a continuous variable was significantly associated with mortality (p<0.001), age (0.002), ischemic disease (0.001), gender (0.004), hypertension (0.002), diabetes (0.003) and dyslipidemia (0.004). The relation of BMI with the use of Digoxin, Asa Diuretics and Spironolactone treatments has also been seen with higher BMI plus utilization. BMI is also associated with the number of admissions, greater number of concomitant chronic diseases and mortality. Obese patients scored higher on the MLWHFQ quality of life questionnaire, which corresponds to a poorer quality of life. Conclusions: BMI has been shown to be associated with mortality, ischemic disease, sex, hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia in patients with heart failure.

          Obesity and cardiovascular disease: pathophysiology, evaluation, and effect of weight loss: an update of the 1997 American Heart Association Scientific Statement on Obesity and Heart Disease from the Obesity Committee of the Council on Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Metabolism.

          Obesity is becoming a global epidemic in both children and adults. It is associated with numerous comorbidities such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD), type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain cancers, and sleep apnea/sleep-disordered breathing. In fact, obesity is an independent risk factor for CVD, and CVD risks have also been documented in obese children. Obesity is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality as well as reduced life expectancy. Health service use and medical costs associated with obesity and related diseases have risen dramatically and are expected to continue to rise. Besides an altered metabolic profile, a variety of adaptations/alterations in cardiac structure and function occur in the individual as adipose tissue accumulates in excess amounts, even in the absence of comorbidities. Hence, obesity may affect the heart through its influence on known risk factors such as dyslipidemia, hypertension, glucose intolerance, inflammatory markers, obstructive sleep apnea/hypoventilation, and the prothrombotic state, in addition to as-yet-unrecognized mechanisms. On the whole, overweight and obesity predispose to or are associated with numerous cardiac complications such as coronary heart disease, heart failure, and sudden death because of their impact on the cardiovascular system. The pathophysiology of these entities that are linked to obesity will be discussed. However, the cardiovascular clinical evaluation of obese patients may be limited because of the morphology of the individual. In this statement, we review the available evidence of the impact of obesity on CVD with emphasis on the evaluation of cardiac structure and function in obese patients and the effect of weight loss on the cardiovascular system.

              An investigation of coronary heart disease in families. The Framingham offspring study.

              The Framingham Heart Study (FHS) was started in 1948 as a prospective investigation of cardiovascular disease in a cohort of adult men and women. Continuous surveillance of this sample of 5209 subjects has been maintained through biennial physical examinations. In 1971 examinations were begun on the children of the FHS cohort. This study, called the Framingham Offspring Study (FOS), was undertaken to expand upon knowledge of cardiovascular disease, particularly in the area of familial clustering of the disease and its risk factors. This report reviews the sampling design of the FHS and describes the nature of the FOS sample. The FOS families appear to be of typical size and age structure for families with parents born in the late 19th or early 20th century. In addition, there is little evidence that coronary heart disease (CHD) experience and CHD risk factors differ in parents of those who volunteered for this study and the parents of those who did not volunteer.
