Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is increasingly prevalent and the most common cause of chronic in western world. It considered hepatic manifestation metabolic syndrome ultimately leads to cardiovascular diseases, which are leading death. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) appears be a complication MASLD and, conversely, seems exacerbate its severity. This review focuses on pathophysiological association between HFpEF, as well...
Background: Low levels of triiodothyronine (T3) are common in patients with heart failure (HF). Our aim was to evaluate the effects supplementation low and replacement doses T3 an animal model HF preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Methods: We evaluated four groups: ZSF1 Lean (n = 8, Lean-Ctrl), Obese (rat metabolic-induced HFpEF, n 13, HFpEF), treated a dose HFpEF-T3high), low-dose HFpEF-T3low). administered drinking water from weeks 13 24. The animals underwent anthropometric metabolic...
Introduction: Data regarding the referral of patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) to hepatologists is scarce.Most authors agree that at-risk (including ones diabetes or MetS) should be screened for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and referred when needed.Existing data highlights NAFLD specialists remain low among endocrinologists.Our aim was evaluate a Portuguese cohort MetS followed in Endocrinology outpatient setting their need hepatologists.Methods: Secondary analysis...
