Adults with obesity may display disturbed cardiac chronotropic responses during cardiopulmonary exercise testing, which relates to poor cardiometabolic health and an increased risk for adverse cardiovascular events. It is unknown whether incompetence (CI) maximal already present in obese adolescents and, if so, how that health. Sixty-nine (body mass index standard deviation score = 2.23 ± 0.32, age 14.1 1.2 years; mean SD) 29 lean -0.16 0.84, 14.0 1.5 years) performed a testing from...
Abstract Aims Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with reduced exercise capacity and cardiovascular diseases, both increasing morbidity risk for premature death. As intolerance often relates to cardiac dysfunction, it remains be elucidated what extent such an interplay occurs in T2DM patients without overt diseases. Design: Cross-sectional study, NCT03299790. Methods results Fifty-three underwent echocardiography (semi-supine bicycle) combined ergospirometry. Cardiac output (CO),...
Oxidative/carbonyl stress is elevated in lower-limb muscles of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Carnosine a skeletal muscle antioxidant particularly present fast-twitch fibers. The aims the study were to compare carnosine, oxidative/carbonyl stress, antioxidants, and fiber characteristics between COPD healthy controls (HCs) after stratification for airflow limitation (mild/moderate vs. severe/very severe), as well investigate correlates carnosine COPD. A vastus...
Abstract Aims To compare the cardiac function and pulmonary vascular during exercise between dyspnoeic non-dyspnoeic patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods results Forty-seven T2DM unexplained dyspnoea 50 asymptomatic underwent echocardiography combined ergospirometry. Left ventricular (LV) [stroke volume, output (CO), LV ejection fraction, systolic annular velocity (s′)], estimated filling pressures (E/e′), mean arterial (mPAPs) mPAP/COslope were assessed at rest, low-...
Currently, more than 400 m people worldwide are affected by diabetes mellitus and the prevalence is expected to exceed 600 2045, which particularly due rise in number of patients with type 2 (T2DM).1 Patients T2DM have twice risk suffering from cardiovascular disease (CVD), contributes a significantly elevated mortality rate compared without T2DM.2 Early detection multifactorial treatment approach aiming at prevention micro- macrovascular complications, key factors care T2DM.3 However,...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Purpose To evaluate whether type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients who suffer from unexplained exercise-induced dyspnea display cardiac dysfunction during exercise. Background Patients with frequently dyspnea. It is not fully understood these have a worse exercise capacity and than non-dyspneic patients. If so, it would be clinically relevant to function in T2DM initiate treatment accordingly. Methods 47 50 asymptomatic...
