Ischemic cardiomyopathy patients with BMI >25 had thicker left ventricular posterior (10.42 vs 9.53) and interventricular septal walls (10.19 vs 9.27) compared to non-obese patients.
Does elevated BMI alter echocardiographic parameters in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy?
Elevated BMI in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy is associated with increased left ventricular wall thickness.

Background: Since obesity raises the risk of several metabolic and cardiovascular disorders, it is a serious global health concern. Researches on its effects on heart anatomy, function, and metabolic parameters in ischemic cardiomyopathy patients are still ongoing. Aim: To assess how elevated body mass index (BMI) is related to echocardiographic parameters in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. Methods: There were two patient groups in this investigation with ischemic cardiomyopathy: overweight/obese (Group I, BMI >25) and non-obese (Group II, BMI ≤25). Echocardiographic measurements, comprising systolic and diastolic performance, wall thickness, and left and right ventricular dimensions were evaluated. Laboratory parameters, including glycemic indices, lipid profile, and renal function, were also compared. Results: Echocardiographic results showed that Group I had thicker left ventricular posterior (LVPWT) and interventricular septal walls (IVSWT) (10.42 ± 0.68 vs. 9.53 ± 0.46, 9.53 ± 0.46; 10.19 ± 0.75 vs. 9.27 ± 0.46, p
