Abstract:
Objective To compare and discuss the changes of cardiac structure and function between young and middle-aged obese and normal healthy subjects.Methods 67 obese objects were divided by the body mass index(BMI)into 3 groups and 23 normal objects were included.Echocardiography was performed using a HDI 3000 and a 2.0～3.0 MHZ transducer.The LV end-diastolic and end-systolic dimension were measured.LV diastolic function was determined by peak E wave velocity,A wave velocity and E/A ratio,IVRT.Results LVEDD,LVESD,IVS,LVMI of obese group were significantly greater,larger than those in control group (P0.05).BMI had significant positive correlation with the LVEDD(r=0.37,P
