背景情况:
- 性别,身体脂肪分布和心脏结构/功能之间的相互作用是复杂的,并未完全理解.
- 以前的研究表明存在联系,但因果关系需要进一步阐明.
- 了解这些联系对于性别特异性心血管风险评估至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 研究影响脂肪分布模式的遗传因素与左心室 (LV) 结构和功能之间的因果关系.
- 为了确定这些关系是否在性别之间有所不同.
- 使用门德尔的随机化来探索因果关系.
主要方法:
- 来自欧洲GWAS的腰围,部周长,腰与部比率 (WHR) 和体重指数 (BMI) 的精选遗传变异.
- 利用英国生物库心血管磁共振数据 (> 35,000 个欧洲样本) 来确定 LV 参数.

Imbalances in Cardiac Output
1.3K
The heart's primary function is to pump blood throughout the body, maintaining a balance between blood sent out (cardiac output) and blood returning (venous return). If this balance is disrupted, it can result in congestive heart failure (CHF), a severe condition where the heart becomes an inefficient pump, leading to inadequate blood circulation.
CHF can occur due to the failure of either side of the heart. Left-side failure leads to pulmonary congestion—the right side continues to send...

Pathophysiology of Heart Failure
1.4K
Heart failure (HF) is a progressive syndrome involving ventricles that leads to inadequate cardiac output. It can be classified based on location and output or ejection fraction. Ejection fraction (EF) is an essential measurement in the diagnosis and surveillance of HF. Reduced EF corresponds to systolic heart failure (HFrEF). However, HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is becoming increasingly prevalent. Also known as diastolic HF, this form of HF is related to aging. The...
