[Myocardial performance during therapeutic starvation in obese subjects]. 1977

A Aigner, and H J Lisch, and E Knapp, and S Sailer, and E Raas

The effect was studied of therapeutic total starvation of two weeks' duration on myocardial performance in 12 obeses patients. Half of these subjects were trained for 10 minutes daily on a bicycle ergometer, whilst the other half had no training. After two weeks of total fasting no significant changes were observed either inter- or intracollectively with regard to systolic time intervals, ejection fraction and the index of myocardial contractility, nor in respect to serum electrolytes. Physical training had no influence on the systolic time intervals and the other noninvasive parameters of left ventricular performance. The inclusion of previous data obtained in a similar investigation enabled the establishment of a correlation between the serum potassium level and the ejection franction.

D009765 Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).
