The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 10/20/09
Nelson R et al. – The authors conducted a retrospective study of a subset of edematous obese patients with multiple common medical comorbidities who present with a clinical syndrome in the setting of physiologic stress or infection. Under severe physiologic stress these patients developed pulmonary hypertension, right–sided volume overload, decreased effective arterial blood volume, and renal failure. Often, these findings were in the setting of obstructive sleep apnea. This retrospective study focuses on an obesity–related cardiorenal syndrome but also serves to provide a foreground for acknowledging the broad spectrum of cardiovascular pathology, including pulmonary hypertension, diastolic dysfunction, and sleep apnea, seen in the obese.
