Comparison of left ventricular mass and function in obese versus nonobese women <40 years of age
Abstract
We evaluated, through Doppler echocardiography, left ventricular (LV) mass and function in 82 obese young women (aged <40 years) who were asymptomatic, without any cardiovascular or pulmonary disease compared with a lean control group matched by age and height. LV mass, LV mass/height, and LV mass/volume were increased in obese women, and a lower LV E- and A-wave velocity ratio was noted, suggesting early cardiac involvement.

Many published studies have concluded that obesity is independently associated with LV hypertrophy.
“Many published studies have concluded that obesity is independently associated with LV hypertrophy (22, 28, 63, 72, 116, 235, 242, 266, 279, 284, 377).”

Multiple recent studies have shown a predominance of concentric geometry in obese patients.
“Unfortunately, this relatively straightforward and logical hypothesis is complicated by the fact that multiple recent studies have shown a predominance of concentric geometry in obese patients (22, 63, 72, 279, 377).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
