Cardiometabolic Syndrome and Increased Risk of Heart Failure

Journal: Current Heart Failure Reports

Authors: Helene von Bibra, Walter Paulus, Martin St. John Sutton

Publisher: Springer US

Abstract

Approximately 50 % of patients with heart failure have diastolic heart failure (HFPEF) with the major predisposing risk factors age, inactivity, obesity, insulin resistance (IR), type-2 diabetes, and hypertension. The prognosis of HFPEF is comparable to that of systolic heart failure, but without any specific or effective treatment. This review presents a biomathematically corrected diagnostic approach for quantification of diastolic dysfunction (DD) via the age dependency of diastolic function. Pathophysiological mechanisms for DD in the cardiometabolic syndrome (CMS) are mainly based on downstream effects of IR including insufficient myocardial energy supply. The second section discusses therapeutic strategies for the control and therapy of CMS, IR, and the associated DD/HFPEF with a focus on dietary therapy that is independent of weight loss but improves all manifestations of the CMS and reduces cardiovascular risk.

Quantification of DD via the age dependence of diastolic function—impact of insulin resistance with and without type 2 diabetes. IJC. 2015;182:368–74. The dominant dependence of age on diastolic function has important biomathematical consequences: dysfunction can be quantified by the difference of the actually measured E’ to the age related normal value from a regression equation derived from healthy individuals. Furthermore, risk factors need to be assessed in relation to this difference, so that the error is avoided to “identify” risk factors that also heavily depend on age.
