Association Between Abdominal Fat and Mortality in Patients Undergoing Cardiovascular Surgery
2022, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryV-FAT study – A correlation between novel markers of obesity and coronary artery disease severity assessed by Syntax score in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome
2020, Indian Heart JournalCitation Excerpt :In our study, there was a lack of correlation between BMI or WHR with CAD severity, which was similar to the findings by Parsa et al7 In the latter study of 414 patients, it was demonstrated that there was an inverse correlation between BMI and severity of coronary artery disease. Similarly, in a study of 928 patients by Rubinshtein et al,8 a negative correlation was found between high risk coronary anatomy and obesity, whereas other comorbidities like diabetes, dyslipidemia and male gender had a good correlation with CAD severity. Likewise Niraj et al9 studied the relationship between BMI and extent of CAD, which was assessed using Duke score and demonstrated a paradoxical association between the two.
Obesity paradox in peripheral artery disease
2019, Clinical NutritionCitation Excerpt :This might be explained by two aspects, which have to be considered in this context: Correlation between obesity and deficient wound healing has long been established [65], once again confirmed by significant lower amputation rates in underweight PAD patients. In addition, obese PAD patients may present earlier at medical centers, and are more aggressively treated [13,33,35–39]. It is well known that obesity is an increasing problem worldwide [1,66].
