The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of hyperactivity on left ventricular mass (LVM) in Anorexia Nervosa restricting-type (AN-R) and the correlation between LVM and auxologic parameters/circulating hormones.
Echocardiography was performed in 44 AN-R girls, subgrouped in 24 hyperactive (ANH+) and 20 non-hyperactive (ANH-), and in 20 controls (HC). LVM indexed to Body Surface Area (LVMi) and LVM indexed to height (LVMh) were calculated.
LVMi and LVMh were significantly lower in the AN-R subjects compared to HC. Moreover, both LVMi and LVMh were higher in the ANH+ than in the ANH-. In the HC, LVMi was higher when compared to the ANH- subjects than to the ANH+. Stepwise analysis revealed that in the ANH+ group, fT4 was the only independent predictor of LVMh, while in the ANH- group, height was the only independent predictors of LVMi.
Despite its negative influence on disease severity and outcome, hyperactivity from the standpoint of cardiac function makes the LVM of AN-R young girls more similar to HC.
Level III, case-control study.
本研究旨在探讨多动对神经性厌食限制型(AN-R)患者左心室质量(LVM)的影响,以及LVM与体格参数/循环激素之间的相关性。
对44名AN-R女孩进行了超声心动图检查,将其分为24名多动组(ANH+)和20名非多动组(ANH-),并与20名对照组(HC)进行比较。计算了体表面积指数左心室质量(LVMi)和身高指数左心室质量(LVMh)。
与HC相比,AN-R受试者的LVMi和LVMh显著降低。此外,ANH+组的LVMi和LVMh均高于ANH-组。在HC组中,与ANH-受试者相比,LVMi高于ANH+受试者。逐步分析显示,在ANH+组中,游离甲状腺素(fT4)是LVMh的唯一独立预测因子,而在ANH-组中,身高是LVMi的唯一独立预测因子。
尽管多动对疾病严重程度和预后有负面影响,但从心脏功能的角度来看,多动使AN-R年轻女孩的LVM更接近HC组。
