Key result
In male military personnel with arterial hypertension, obesity was associated with a lower prevalence of normal left ventricular geometry compared to normal body weight.
Why the study?
Overweight is a leading risk factor for arterial hypertension, but its effect on left ventricular myocardium structure and daily blood pressure profile in middle-aged military personnel was unclear.
Does excess body weight worsen left ventricular remodeling and daily blood pressure profiles in middle-aged male military personnel with arterial hypertension?
Cross-Sectional (n=73)
Does excess body weight worsen left ventricular remodeling and daily blood pressure profiles in middle-aged male military personnel with arterial hypertension?
In middle-aged male military personnel with hypertension, increasing body weight is associated with adverse left ventricular remodeling and pathological non-dipping blood pressure profiles.

Obesity-associated LV geometry changes warrant caution in hypertensive military men; leaves open whether weight loss alters remodeling.
One of the leading risk factors for the development of arterial hypertension is undoubtedly overweight. The purpose of this study was to study the effect of excess body mass index on the structural and geometric parameters of the left ventricular myocardium and the daily blood pressure profile in middle-aged military personnel with arterial hypertension. The study included 73 patients suffering from arterial hypertension (AH) of 1-2 degrees, male, aged 20 to 45 years, with stage 1 hypertension. With an increase in the level of body weight in military personnel with hypertension, there is an increase in the incidence of remodeled left ventricular myocardium and an increase in the diagnosis of adverse daily blood pressure profiles. Based on the results of complex therapy (hypotensive therapy), it is also necessary to pay attention to actions that are aimed at normalizing body weight.

Ravshanovich et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Arterial hypertension (n=73). Overweight and obesity vs. Normal body weight was evaluated on Normal left ventricular geometry (p=<0.03). In male military personnel with arterial hypertension, obesity was associated with a lower prevalence of normal left ventricular geometry compared to normal body weight.
