Weight variability

upin humans1

1 study
  1. Weight variability is associated with left ventricular end-diastolic volume index in humans (Heart failure; weight variability >2.5 kg) (β +4.3 mL/m2, 95% CI +2.1 to +6.5).

    “Weight variability >2.5 kg was associated with blunted remodeling (β +4.3 mL/m 2 , 95% CI +2.1 to +6.5; p=0.002).”

1 study
  1. Daily steps are associated with left ventricular end-diastolic volume index in humans (Heart failure; adjusted for GDMT and comorbidities) (β -2.1 mL/m2 per 1,000 daily steps above median, 95% CI -2.7 to -1.5).

    “Each 1,000 daily steps above median was independently associated with a 2.1 mL/m 2 greater reduction in LVEDVi”

1 study
  1. eGFR is associated with left ventricular end-diastolic volume index in humans.

    “Lower eGFR was associated with larger increases in left ventricular end-diastolic volume index and worsening of diastolic measures.”

Two immune proteins linked to later heart failure risk

An observational study of adults assessed at average ages 57 and 75 linked two anti-inflammatory blood proteins to later heart failure hospitalizations.An observational study of adults assessed at average ages 57 and 75 linked two anti-inflammatory blood proteins to later heart failure hospitalizations.

Empagliflozin reduced heart chamber volumes alongside other drugs

Over 36 weeks, empagliflozin reduced the heart’s main pumping chamber’s volume after contraction by 6.0 milliliters per square meter of body surface area versus placebo.Over 36 weeks, empagliflozin reduced the heart’s main pumping chamber’s volume after contraction by 6.0 milliliters per square meter of body surface area versus placebo.
