Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is often considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but recent studies have shown conflicting results regarding the effect of BMI on the prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between BMI and clinical outcomes of CAD according to sex in a Korean population. METHODS A total of 3476 patients with a significant CAD who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were enrolled. Patients were classified as follows according to BMI using the Asia-Pacific cutoff points: underweight (<18.5 kg/m 2 ), normal weight (18.5-22.9 kg/m 2 ), overweight (23.0-24.9 kg/m 2 ) and obese (≥25 kg/m 2 ) patients. Underweight and normal weight patients were further categorized into the lower BMI group, whereas overweight and obese patients were categorized into the higher BMI group. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. RESULTS Among women, the higher BMI group showed poor clinical features in the prevalence of hypertension and chest pain presentation, and among men, the higher BMI group had a significantly lower rate of chronic renal failure. At the end of the follow-up period (median 53.5 months), the all-cause mortality rate was lower in the higher BMI group in men, and cardiovascular death and stroke rates were significantly lower in the higher BMI group in women. CONCLUSION In Korean CAD patients treated with PCI, inverse correlations were observed between the clinical outcomes and BMI, but there were differences between men and women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate whether there was a difference in survival after initial percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) among ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with different body mass index (BMI). METHODS Literature retrieval was conducted on PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CNKI, and Wanfang databases to obtain the published studies on the survival of STEMI patients with different BMI after initial PCI from the establishment of the database to 2022. All statistical analyses were performed using STATA16.0. RESULTS Two hundred thirty-nine studies were retrieved, and 12 studies were eventually included. Meta-analysis showed that overweight patients [OR = 0.66, 95% CI (0.58, 0.76), p < .001] and obese patients [OR = 0.60, 95% CI (0.51, 0.72), p < .001] had lower in-hospital mortality than healthy-weight patients. Overweight patients [OR = 0.66, 95% CI (0.58, 0.74), p < .001] and obese patients [OR = 0.62, 95% CI (0.53, 0.72), p < .001] had lower short-term mortality than healthy-weight patients. In addition, overweight patients [OR = 0.63, 95% CI (0.58, 0.69), p < .001] and obese patients [OR = 0.59, 95% CI (0.52, 0.66), p < .001] also had lower long-term mortality than healthy-weight patients. There was no significant difference in in-hospital mortality [OR = 1.06, 95% CI (0.89, 1.27), p > .05], short-term mortality [OR = 1.04, 95% CI (0.89, 1.22), p > .05], and long-term mortality [OR = 1.07, 95% CI (0.95, 1.20), p > .05] between overweight and obese patients. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis confirmed an obesity paradox in STEMI patients following PCI. The obesity paradox exists in in-hospital, short-term, and long-term conditions.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Obesity is related to several comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, heart failure, and various types of cancers. While the detrimental effect of obesity in both mortality and morbidity has been well established, the concept of the obesity paradox in specific chronic diseases remains a topic of continuous interest. In the present review, we examine the controversial issues around the obesity paradox in certain conditions such as cardiovascular disease, several types of cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and the factors that may confound the relation between obesity and mortality. RECENT FINDINGS We refer to the obesity paradox when particular chronic diseases exhibit an interesting "paradoxical" protective association between the body mass index (BMI) and clinical outcomes. This association, however, may be driven by multiple factors among which the limitations of the BMI itself; the unintended weight loss precipitated by chronic illness; the various phenotypes of obesity, i.e., sarcopenic obesity or the athlete's obesity phenotype; and the cardiorespiratory fitness levels of the included patients. Recent evidence highlighted that previous cardioprotective medications, obesity duration, and smoking status seem to play a role in the obesity paradox. The obesity paradox has been described in a plethora of chronic diseases. It cannot be emphasized enough that the incomplete information received from a single BMI measurement may interfere with outcomes of studies arguing in favor of the obesity paradox. Thus, the development of carefully designed studies, unhampered by confounding factors, is of great importance.

Abstract
AIM Obesity paradox remains a point of debate in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and clinical outcomes in STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). METHODS Outcomes were assessed in 1429 STEMI patients undergoing PPCI between January 2009 and January 2010 in Beijing. Patients were classified into 6 groups according to age (the younger and elderly groups consisting of patients ≤65 and > 65 years old) and baseline BMI (normal weight, BMI < 24 kg/m2; overweight, 24 kg/m2 ≤BMI < 28 kg/m2; obese, BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2). The primary outcome was death, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), or revascularization. RESULTS On long-term follow-up (mean follow-up of 59 months), 13.9% of patients experienced the adverse event. Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that low BMI was a significant predictor of the primary outcome only in the younger group. The odds ratio for overweight in comparison with normal weight was 0.741 (95% CI: 0.413-0.979; p = 0.038), the odds radio for obesity in comparison with normal-weight patients was 0.508 (95% CI: 0.344-0.750; p = 0.016) in the younger group. In the elderly group, diabetes, hypertension, triple disease, regular exercise, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) use after discharge, and bleeding complication were associated with primary outcome. CONCLUSION The obesity paradox was recognized only in the younger age group in STEMI patients undergoing PPCI.

Abstract
The mechanisms behind poorer cardiac outcomes in underweight patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are not understood and features of coronary culprit lesions in underweight ACS patients have not been fully examined. A total of 1,683 patients with ACS were divided into 4 groups according to body mass index (BMI): <18.5 (n = 73), 18.5 to 24.9 (n = 995), 25 to 29.9 (n = 488), and ≥30 (n = 117). Angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) images were analyzed for 1,428 of these patients who had primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and 838 who had primary PCI with OCT guidance, respectively. Diabetes (p <0.001), hypertension (p <0.001), and dyslipidemia (p <0.001) were less prevalent in BMI <18.5. Statin prescription at discharge was less frequent in the BMI <18.5 group (p <0.001). Quantitative coronary angiography analyses revealed smaller reference vessel (p = 0.001) and minimum lumen diameters after PCI (p = 0.019) and OCT revealed longer lipidic plaque length (p = 0.029) in the BMI <18.5 group. Kaplan-Meier analyses revealed higher rates of cardiac mortality (p <0.001) and major bleeding (p = 0.034) during the 2-year follow-up in the BMI <18.5 group. After adjusting for traditional cardiovascular risk factors, BMI <18.5 independently predicted 2-year cardiac mortality (hazard ratio 1.917 [95% confidence interval [1.082 to 3.397], p = 0.026). In conclusion, being underweight contributed to poorer cardiac outcomes in established ACS population. Smaller minimum lumen diameter after PCI and further progressed atherosclerosis at the culprit lesions despite their lower prevalence of comorbid metabolic risk factors may be related partly to poorer cardiac outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is a major public health concern. We sought to investigate temporal trends in characteristics and outcomes of acute coronary syndrome patients according to body mass index. METHODS The study population consisted of patients who were included in the Acute Coronary Syndromes Israeli Surveys during 2000-2016. Patients were categorised into three groups according to body mass index: below 25 kg/m2, 25-30 kg/m2 (overweight) and above 30 kg/m2 (obese). Among each body mass index group the outcomes of two time frames were compared - early (2000-2006) versus late (2008-2016). RESULTS Overall 12,167 patients were included. Between the years 2000 and 2016, the percentage of obese patients increased from 20% to 30%. Obese patients were more frequently selected for an invasive approach, and had the lowest all-cause mortality rates. A significant reduction in 1-year mortality in recent compared to early surveys among patients with body mass index less than 25 kg/m2 and in obese patients but not for overweight patients was shown. Multivariable analysis showed that body mass index greater than 25 kg/m2 was associated with 30% lower 1-year mortality (hazard ratio 0.70, 95% confidence interval 0.55-0.90, P=0.005). CONCLUSION The prevalence of obesity among acute coronary syndrome patients has increased over the past two decades. A reduction of all-cause mortality was mainly seen in lean and obese patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS It is still controversial whether obesity and overweight increase the risk of mortality for patients with coronary artery disease. The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and mortality in patients with triple-vessel disease (TVD). METHODS AND RESULTS From April 2004 to February 2011, 8943 patients with angiographically confirmed TVD were consecutively enrolled. Patients were divided into five groups according to BMI: underweight (<18.5 kg/m2), normal weight (18.5-23.9 kg/m2), overweight: (24-27.9 kg/m2), mild obesity (28-31.9 kg/m2), and severe obesity (≥32 kg/m2). The primary end point was all-cause death. Subgroup analysis was performed for treatment strategies: revascularization and medical treatment alone. During a median follow-up of 7.5 years, lower risks of mortality were observed in patients with overweight (adjusted HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.75-0.97) and mild obesity (adjusted HR 0.83, 95% CI 0.69-1.00) compared to those with normal weight. Polynomial Cox regression suggested a U-shape association between BMI and adjusted mortality risk. In the revascularization subgroup, there was a significantly higher mortality risk in patients with severe obesity (adjusted HR 1.57, 95% CI 1.03-2.40) than in those with normal weight. While in the medical treatment subgroup, mortality risk decreased as BMI increased, with the lowest risk being observed in patients with severe obesity. CONCLUSION There is a U-shape relationship between BMI and all-cause death in patients with TVD, with increased risks among both underweight and severely obese patients. This relationship may be influenced by treatment strategies.

Abstract
The association between body mass index (BMI) and mortality of patients with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is still controversial. We hope to explore whether the 'obesity paradox' really exists through this dose-response meta-analysis. PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases were systematically searched for eligible studies up to April 2020. The random-effects restricted cubic spline models were used to evaluate the potential non-linear relationship between BMI and all-cause mortality of patients undergoing PCI. Fifteen studies were identified and included total 138 592 participants. The pooled hazard ratio of all-cause mortality was 0.60 (95% confidence interval: 0.45-0.82) when compared the highest category (mean = 33.32 kg m-2 ) of BMI with the lowest category (mean = 18.89 kg m-2 ). A non-linear U-shaped dose-response curve between BMI and the risk of all-cause mortality was found, with higher mortality rate at BMI lower than 27 kg m-2 and higher than 32 kg m-2 . The 'obesity paradox' does exist after PCI. The association between BMI and the risk of all-cause mortality for patients undergoing PCI is U shaped, with a nadir of risk at a BMI of 27 to 32 kg m-2 and the highest risk at patients with underweight. The relationship between other prognostic indicators and BMI is worthy of further research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Data concerning the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and outcome in myocardial infarction (MI) patients are inconclusive. Long-term data on the influence of BMI on survival in patients with MI who have undergone percutaneous intervention (PCI) are lacking. We aimed to assess the effect of different categories of BMI on long-term mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS A single-center retrospective study of 6496 patients with MI who underwent PCI was performed. Patients were divided into six categories according to their BMI and these were compared. All-cause mortality was assessed over a median period of 6.0 years. An inverse J-shaped relationship was observed between BMI and long-term mortality. The lowest mortality was observed in patients with class I obesity. The patients with a BMI below 25.0 kg/m2 were more likely to die than patients with class I obesity. A gradual decrease in BMI below 25.0 kg/m2 was associated with a progressively increased risk of dying, with underweight patients showing a 2.18-fold increase in mortality risk. An obesity paradox was present. In addition, the patients with class III obesity had a more than 70% higher long-term mortality risk as compared to the reference group. Both lower and higher degrees of BMI were found to be harmful in patients with MI who underwent PCI. CONCLUSION The obesity paradox was present in a very long-term follow-up of patients with MI who underwent PCI. However, both lower and higher BMI values are harmful, and an inverse J-shaped relationship between BMI and outcome was observed.

Abstract
Overweight and obesity contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in general and coronary heart disease (CHD) in particular in part by their association with traditional and nontraditional CVD risk factors. Obesity is also considered to be an independent risk factor for CVD. The metabolic syndrome, of which central obesity is an important component, is strongly associated with CVD including CHD. There is abundant epidemiologic evidence of an association between both overweight and obesity and CHD. Evidence from postmortem studies and studies involving coronary artery imaging is less persuasive. Recent studies suggest the presence of an obesity paradox with respect to mortality in persons with established CHD. Physical activity and preserved cardiorespiratory fitness attenuate the adverse effects of obesity on CVD events. Information concerning the effect of intentional weight loss on CVD outcomes in overweight and obese persons is limited.

Abstract
In this review, we discuss the role of adipokines in the onset of puberty in children with obesity during adrenarche and gonadarche and provide a clear and detailed overview of the biological processes of two major players, leptin and adiponectin. Adipokines, especially leptin and adiponectin, seem to induce an early onset of puberty in girls and boys with obesity by affecting the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Moreover, adipokines and their receptors are expressed in the gonads, suggesting a role in sexual maturation and reproduction. All in all, adipokines may be a clue in understanding mechanisms underlying the onset of puberty in childhood obesity and puberty onset variability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is often considered as a risk factor of cardiovascular events, but recent researches showed conflicting results regarding to the effect of body weight on prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and clinical outcomes of CAD in Asian population. METHODS A total of 4315 patients from the FOCUS registry were enrolled into this analysis. Patients were divided into 4 groups according to BMI: lean group (BMI<18.5 kg/m2), normal group (BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m2), overweight group (BMI 25-30 kg/m2) and obesity group (BMI>30 kg/m2). Follow-up was continued to 3 years to evaluate clinical outcomes, and the primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause death and myocardial infarction (MI). RESULTS Patients with higher BMI were more likely to be associated with cardiovascular risk factors like hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and diabetes, but not smoking. At the end of the follow-up period, however, the incidence of a composite endpoint of all-cause death and MI was significantly lower in the higher BMI (overweight and obese) subsets, as compared with the lower BMI group (5.2% vs. 8.0%, p < 0.001). So did the cumulative rates of all-cause death (p < 0.001), cardiovascular death (p < 0.001), and a combined endpoint of cardiovascular death and MI (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In Asian patients with CAD, an inverse association between BMI and long-term prognosis was observed. Although overweight or obese patients were associated with more metabolism-associated comorbidities, they had significantly lower adverse events at 3-year follow up after percutaneous coronary intervention.

Predictive value of the geriatric nutritional risk index in percutaneous coronary intervention with rotational atherectomy. Heart Vessels 2020; 35:887-893. [PMID: 31970508 DOI: 10.1007/s00380-020-01558-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2019] [Accepted: 01/10/2020] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
The prognostic value of the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with rotational atherectomy (RA) remains unknown. Therefore, we aimed to clarify whether the GNRI could predict major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients undergoing PCI with RA. A total of 206 patients who underwent PCI with RA from January 2009 to December 2017 were retrospectively tracked. The patients were divided into 2 groups based on the GNRI value on admission. MACE comprised all-cause death, target lesion revascularization (TLR), target vessel revascularization (TVR), and myocardial infarction. One year of follow up was completed in 95.6% of patients. During this period, 50 cases of MACE were observed (all-cause death, 32 cases; TLR, 21 cases; and TVR, 2 cases). Patients with a low GNRI (< 98) had a significantly higher incidence of MACE than did patients with a high GNRI (≥ 98) (37.9% vs. 15.5%, log-rank p < 0.05). The GNRI was an independent predictor of MACE (hazard ratio, 0.94; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.92-0.97). Furthermore, the GNRI had better predictive power than did its components alone (i.e. body mass index and serum albumin level) (net-reclassification improvement, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.07-0.71; p = 0.01; integrated discrimination improvement, 0.02; 95% CI, - 0.01-0.04; p = 0.07). The GNRI on admission is a predictor of MACE after PCI with RA. Further studies are required to determine whether intensive medical therapy could improve clinical events, particularly cardiovascular death and revascularization, in this population.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous revascularisation. METHODS AND RESULTS In 13 randomised trials, 22,922 patients were stratified (in kg/m2) as underweight (BMI <18.5), normal weight (18.5 ≤BMI <25, used as reference), overweight (25 ≤BMI <30), and obese (Class I [30 ≤BMI <35], Class II [35 ≤BMI <40], or Class III [BMI ≥40]). The primary endpoint was all-cause death at five years. Secondary endpoints were cardiac and non-cardiac death, target (TLR) and non-target lesion revascularisation (NTLR), myocardial infarction (MI), and definite/probable stent thrombosis. Despite adjustment for multiple confounders, overweight and Class I obesity were associated with lower all-cause mortality versus normal weight (HR 0.83, 95% CI: 0.71-0.96, and HR 0.83, 95% CI: 0.69-0.96, respectively); however, non-cardiac death was the major contributor to this effect (HR 0.77, 95% CI: 0.63-0.94 for overweight). Conversely, cardiac mortality was higher in severely obese individuals (HR 1.62, 95% CI: 1.05-2.51 for Class III obesity). Obesity was associated with higher rates of NTLR (HR 1.28, 95% CI: 1.04-1.58 for Class II obesity) but not with TLR, MI and stent thrombosis. CONCLUSIONS Moderately increased BMI is associated with improved survival post PCI, mostly due to lower non-cardiac but not cardiac mortality.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have reported a protective effect of obesity compared with normal body mass index (BMI) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, it is unclear whether this effect extends to the extremely obese. In this large multicenter registry‐based study, we sought to examine the relationship between BMI and long‐term clinical outcomes following PCI, and in particular to evaluate the association between extreme obesity and long‐term survival after PCI. Methods and Results This cohort study included 25 413 patients who underwent PCI between January 1, 2005 and June 30, 2017, who were prospectively enrolled in the Melbourne Interventional Group registry. Patients were stratified by World Health Organization–defined BMI categories. The primary end point was National Death Index–linked mortality. The median length of follow‐up was 4.4 years (interquartile range 2.0‐7.6 years). Of the study cohort, 24.8% had normal BMI (18.5‐24.9 kg/m2), and 3.3% were extremely obese (BMI ≥40 kg/m2). Patients with greater degrees of obesity were younger and included a higher proportion of diabetics (P<0.001). After adjustment for age and comorbidities, a J‐shaped association was observed between different BMI categories and adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for long‐term mortality (normal BMI, HR 1.00 [ref]; overweight, HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.78‐0.93, P<0.001; mild obesity, HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.76‐0.94, P=0.002; moderate obesity, HR 0.95, 95% CI 0.80‐1.12, P=0.54; extreme obesity HR 1.33, 95% CI 1.07‐1.65, P=0.01). Conclusions An obesity paradox is still apparent in contemporary practice, with elevated BMI up to 35 kg/m2 associated with reduced long‐term mortality after PCI. However, this protective effect appears not to extend to patients with extreme obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Body Mass Index (BMI) is known to be an independent risk factor for hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia and various cardiovascular diseases. Our aim was to investigate the differences among BMI groups in patients undergoing first elective PCI. METHODS 781 consecutive patients who underwent their first-time elective PCI from September 2011 to December 2013 in the Department of Cardiology were enrolled in the study. The patients with BMI < 18.5 kg/m(2) or > 50 kg/m(2) and those who had previously undergone revascularization were excluded from the study. Patients were categorized according to their BMI groups. BMI 18.5 - 24.9 kg/m(2) normal group, 25 - 29.9 kg/m(2) overweight group and > 30 kg/m(2) obese group. We studied the demographic, angiographic, and interventional differences between BMI groups. RESULTS Compared with normal weight individuals, those obese were younger (61.9 ±10.34 vs. 58.41 ± 8.01 p = 0.0006), had higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus (46.4% vs. 26.6% p = 0.0001), dyslipidemia (77.5% vs. 65.4% p=0.0134) and hypertension (1.3% vs. 81.3% p=0.0067). There was a greater use of calcium channel blockers (CCBs) and Angiotensin Enzyme Inhibitors (ACEIs)/Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs) in obese individuals but it was not statistically significant. Obese individuals were associated with higher risk anatomy (3-Vessel CAD or LM) compared to normal individuals but not statistically significant (18.8% vs. 14.2% p=0.25). Obese patients were associated with a higher length of stents/person used (36.7 ± 22.02 vs. 31.7 ± 17.48 p=0.016) and also a larger diameter of stents/person used (3.14 ± 0.4 vs. 2.98 ± 0.33 p=0.0001) compared to normal individuals. CONCLUSIONS Patients with a higher BMI are younger and have diabetes mellitus, hypertension and dyslipidemia more frequently. Patients with a higher BMI have a higher length and larger diameter of stents/person used, probably related to a more extensive coronary artery disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity, a comorbid medical condition, is usually observed in patients with established coronary artery disease. Paradoxically, patients with a higher body mass index (BMI) usually have better clinical outcomes after coronary revascularization. METHODS We searched five online databases through December 2017. We identified studies reporting the rate of all-cause mortality or cardiovascular-related outcomes among patients after coronary revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass graft based on various BMI categories. Network meta-analysis was performed using Bayesian methods. RESULTS Sixty-five records involving 865,774 participants were included in our study. A U-shaped association was observed across BMI categories for all-cause mortality. Using normal weight as the reference, all-cause mortality was increased for (relative risk [RR]: 2.4; 95% credibility interval [CrI]: 2.1-2.7) patients with underweight, whereas it was lowered in patients with overweight, obese, and severely obese. This association remained significant in many subgroups. We also observed that the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) was lowest among patients with overweight. Furthermore, patients with underweight were associated with greater risks of myocardial infarction (RR: 1.9; 95% CrI: 1.4-2.5), cardiovascular-related mortality (RR: 2.8; 95% CrI: 1.6-4.7), stroke (RR: 2.0; 95% CrI: 1.3-3.3) and heart failure (RR: 1.7; 95% CrI: 1.1-2.7) compared with normal weight patients; no significant association was observed among individuals with higher BMI. CONCLUSIONS The 'obesity paradox' does exist in patients after coronary revascularization, especially for patients with post-percutaneous coronary intervention. All-cause mortality in patients with high BMI is significantly lower compared with patients with normal weight. Furthermore, patients with underweight experience higher rates of cardiovascular outcomes compared with patients with normal weight.

Obesity paradox in the era of percutaneous coronary intervention with 2nd-generation drug-eluting stents: an analysis of a multicenter PCI registry. Heart Vessels 2018; 34:218-226.

Abstract
Being overweight has been identified as independent risk factors for coronary artery disease. However, overweight patients have been reported frequently to have better mortality outcomes, and there is little data showing they are at a disadvantage regarding secondary prevention of cardiovascular events. We analyzed the influence of being overweight (defined as body mass index > 25 kg/m2) on adverse events in patients who underwent everolimus-eluting stent (EES) implantation using a multicenter registry with a maximum follow-up of 3 years. Propensity score matching was done for adjusting baseline characteristics. We defined primary end points as major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE: a composite of mortality from all causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and nonfatal stroke) and "MACCE excluding non-cardiac mortality". Other adverse events were analyzed as key secondary end points. Out of 1918 patients, 450 pairs were obtained through propensity score matching. Overweight patients were superior to non-overweight patients regarding MACCE (event rates: 8.2 vs. 13.8% in overweight vs. non-overweight, respectively; log-rank p = 0.009) and "MACCE excluding non-cardiac mortality" (5.9 vs. 10.1%, p = 0.03). On secondary end points, not only did overweight patients have significantly fewer major bleeding events (2.2 vs. 4.8%, p = 0.02), but they also had smaller adverse event rates for almost all such events; the differences were not statistically significant. Overweight patients had better outcomes for MACCE, even on excluding non-cardiac mortalities. No result was supportive of an evident advantage to non-overweight EES-implanted patients in terms of secondary prevention of cardiovascular events.

The Relationship of Body Mass Index to Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Outcomes: Does the Obesity Paradox Exist in Contemporary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Cohorts? Insights From the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society Registry. JACC Cardiovasc Interv 2018; 10:1283-1292. [PMID: 28683933 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcin.2017.03.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 69] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2016] [Revised: 02/09/2017] [Accepted: 03/09/2017] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to examine the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and clinical outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and to determine the relevance of different clinical presentations requiring PCI to this relationship. BACKGROUND Obesity is a growing problem, and studies have reported a protective effect from obesity compared with normal BMI for adverse outcomes after PCI. METHODS Between 2005 and 2013, 345,192 participants were included. Data were obtained from the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society registry, and mortality data were obtained through the U.K. Office of National Statistics. Multiple logistic regression was performed to determine the association between BMI group (<18.5, 18.5 to 24.9, 25 to 30 and >30 kg/m2) and adverse in-hospital outcomes and mortality. RESULTS At 30 days post-PCI, significantly lower mortality was seen in patients with elevated BMIs (odds ratio [OR]: 0.86 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.80 to 0.93] 0.90 [95% CI: 0.82 to 0.98] for BMI 25 to 30 and >30 kg/m2, respectively). At 1 year post-PCI, and up to 5 years post-PCI, elevated BMI (either overweight or obese) was an independent predictor of greater survival compared with normal weight (OR: 0.70 [95% CI: 0.67 to 0.73] and 0.73 [95% CI: 0.69 to 0.77], respectively, for 1 year; OR: 0.78 [95% CI: 0.75 to 0.81] and 0.88 [95% CI: 0.84 to 0.92], respectively, for 5 years). Similar reductions in mortality were observed for the analysis according to clinical presentation (stable angina, unstable angina or non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction). CONCLUSIONS A paradox regarding the independent association of elevated BMI with reduced mortality after PCI is still evident in contemporary U.K. practice. This is seen in both stable and more acute clinical settings.

Abstract
The pro-inflammatory state of the visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is supposed to accelerate cardiovascular (CV) and metabolic diseases in obese subjects. Some studies have recently reported an improved CV prognosis in certain obese and overweight patients as compared with leaner ones. This phenomenon, known as the "obesity paradox" (OP), has been described in many chronic diseases. This narrative review is based on the material searched for and obtained via PubMed and Web of Science up to May 2017. The search terms we used were: "obesity, paradox, adipose tissue" in combination with "cardiovascular, coronary heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmias". Using the current Body Mass Index (BMI)-based obesity definition, individuals with different clinical and biochemical characteristics are gathered together in the same category. Emerging evidence point to the existence of many "Obesity phenotypes" with different association with CV risk, accordingly to physical and life-style features. In this narrative review, we discussed if obesity phenotypes may be associated with a different CV risk, potentially explaining the OP. As a globally accepted definition of obesity is still lacking, we emphasized the need of a new approach, which should consider the heterogeneity of obesity. Better defining "obesities" and related CV risk is critical to markedly improve the classical BMI-based definition of obesity.

Abstract
Obesity is a growing health problem worldwide. It is associated with an increased cardiovascular risk on the one hand of obesity itself and on the other hand of associated medical conditions (hypertension, diabetes, insulin resistance, and sleep apnoea syndrome). Obesity has an important role in atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. Obesity leads to structural and functional changes of the heart, which causes heart failure. The altered myocardial structure increases the risk of atrial fibrillation and sudden cardiac death. However, obesity also has a protective effect on the clinical outcome of underlying cardiovascular disease, the phenomenon called obesity paradox. The improved cardiac imaging techniques allow the early detection of altered structure and function of the heart in obese patients. In this review, we attempt to summarize the relationship between obesity and cardiovascular diseases and outline the underlying mechanisms. The demonstrated new techniques of cardiac diagnostic procedures allow for the early detection and treatment of subclinical medical conditions and, therefore, the prevention of cardiovascular events.

Effects of Body Mass Index on Clinical Outcomes in Female Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Drug-Eluting Stents: Results From a Patient-Level Pooled Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. JACC Cardiovasc Interv 2017; 11:68-76.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study sought to investigate the effect of different body mass index (BMI) categories on clinical outcomes in female patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and drug-eluting stents. BACKGROUND Patients with higher BMI might, paradoxically, have better long-term clinical outcomes after acute coronary syndrome treated with PCI. METHODS We pooled patient-level data for female participants from 26 randomized trials on PCI with drug-eluting stents. Patients were stratified into underweight (BMI, <18.5), normoweight (BMI, 18.5 to 24.9), overweight (BMI, 25 to 29.9), obese (BMI, 30 to 34.9), or morbidly obese (BMI, ≥35). The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events, a composite of death, myocardial infarction, or target lesion revascularization at 3 years. RESULTS Among 11,557 female patients included in the pooled database, 9,420 were treated with a drug-eluting stent and had BMI data available. Patients with higher BMI were significantly younger and with more cardiovascular risk factors. Only 139 patients were underweight and had significantly higher adjusted rates of cardiac mortality and all-cause mortality than the rest of the population (hazard ratio: 2.20 [1.31 to 3.71] compared with normoweight). There was a significantly lower frequency of unadjusted 3-year all-cause mortality in overweight, obese, and severely obese patients compared with normoweight. However, following multivariable analysis, a trend toward increased risk of death in severely obese patients was observed, describing an inverse "J"-shaped relation between BMI and 3-year mortality. Conversely, the relationship between BMI and other outcomes, such as major adverse cardiac events, was flat for normoweight and higher BMI. CONCLUSIONS The risk of 3-year adjusted cardiac events did not differ across BMI groups, whereas the risk of all-cause mortality compared with normoweight was significantly higher in underweight patients and lower in overweight patients with a trend toward increased risk in the severely obese population.

Abstract
Background To identify risk factors of stent graft thrombosis after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation. Methods Patients who underwent TIPS creation between June 2003 and January 2016 and with follow-up assessing stent graft patency were included (n=174). Baseline comorbidities, liver function, procedural details and follow-up liver function tests were analyzed in association with hazards of thrombosis on follow-up. Competing risk cox regression models were used considering liver transplant after TIPS creation as the competing risk variable. Results One-, 2- and 5-year primary patency rates were 94.1%, 91.7% and 78.2%, respectively. Patient age [sub-hazard ratio (sHR): 1.13; P=0.001], body mass index (BMI) <30 (sHR: 33.08; P=0.008) and a higher post-TIPS portosystemic pressure gradient (sHR: 1.14; P=0.023) were significantly associated with TIPS thrombosis in multivariate analysis. A higher rate of TIPS thrombosis was observed in those for whom the procedure was clinically unsuccessful (P=0.014). A significant increase in incidence of thrombosis was noted with increasing tertiles of post-TIPS portosystemic gradients (P value for trend=0.017). Conclusions Older age, lower BMI and higher post-TIPS portosystemic gradients were associated with higher hazards of shunt thrombosis after TIPS creation using stent grafts. Higher rates of shunt thrombosis were seen in patients for whom TIPS creation was clinically unsuccessful. The association between TIPS thrombosis and higher post-TIPS portosystemic gradients may indicate impaired flow through the shunt, a finding which may be technical or anatomic in nature and should be assessed before procedure completion.

Abstract
There is strong relationship between obesity and cardiovascular disease including coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the literature has shown better outcomes in higher obese patients who undergo percutaneous cardiovascular interventions for CAD, a phenomenon known as the obesity paradox (OX). In this review, we performed extensive search for OX in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. We also discussed possible mechanism OX and disparities in different race and sex.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Obesity is a risk factor for both coronary artery disease (CAD) and chronic renal insufficiency (RI); patients with CAD are prone to obesity and RI. In this study, we try to analyze the effect of body composition on death in CAD patients with mild RI. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SUBJECTS A total of 1,591 consecutive CAD patients confirmed by coronary angiography were enrolled and met the mild RI criteria by estimated glomerular filtration rate: 60-90 mL/min. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS The influence of body composition on mortality of CAD was detected in different body compositions, including body mass index (BMI), body fat (BF), and lean mass index (LMI). The end points were all-cause mortality. Cox models were used to evaluate the relationship of quintiles of body compositions with all-cause mortality. RESULTS A survival curve showed that the risk of death was higher in the low BMI group than in the high BMI group (log-rank for overall P = .002); LMI was inversely correlated with risk of death, such that a lower LMI was associated with a higher risk of death (log-rank for overall P < .001). No significant correlation was observed between BF and risk of death. Multifactorial correction show that LMI was still inversely correlated with risk of death (quintile 1: reference; quintile 2: hazard ratio [HR]: 0.49, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.26-0.92; quintile 3: HR: 0.35, 95% CI: 0.17-0.70; quintile 4: HR: 0.41, 95% CI: 0.20-0.85; quintile 5: HR: 0.28, 95% CI: 0.12-0.67). CONCLUSION For CAD patients with mild RI, BMI or BF was unrelated to risk of death, while LMI was inversely correlated with risk of death. A weak "obesity paradox" was observed in this study.

Methods A subgroup of the FERARI study being treated by femoral arterial access and valuable inguinal angiography before implantation of a VCD were included. Inguinal angiographies were systematically reviewed by two independent cardiologists to determine the correct height of femoral arterial puncture. Bleeding complications were documented within 30 days after PCI and were categorized according to BARC, TIMI, GUSTO and FERARI classifications. Results Femoral access point imaging was available in 95 patients compared to 105 patients without. The common femoral artery (CFA) was the most accessed artery in 41%, followed by the femoral arterial bifurcation (39%) and lower access sites distally from the femoral arterial bifurcation (low puncture: 20%). No differences were observed regarding indication of PCI, procedural data and anticoagulation therapies in relation to the heights of femoral arterial access (p > 0.05). Despite using VCD, arterial puncture at the CFA resulted in numerically highest numbers of overall bleedings (62%) compared to femoral arterial bifurcation (41%) (p = 0.059). 58% of bleedings occurred after arterial puncture below the femoral bifurcation (low puncture). Though no significant differences of bleedings regarding classifications of BARC, GUSTO, TIMI and FERARI as well as other vascular endpoints were observed regarding puncture height. Conclusions The present analysis demonstrates no significant differences of bleeding complications in relation to the height of femoral arterial puncture and subsequent use of a VCD.

Abstract
Obese individuals, despite having increased cardiovascular (CV) risk factors experience adverse CV outcomes less frequently than non-obese. Little is known about association of long-term weight gain to development of coronary artery disease (CAD), inflammation and thrombogenicity. 418 consecutive patients with suspected CAD undergoing elective cardiac catheterization were included in a sub-analysis of the multi analyte, thrombogenic, and genetic markers of atherosclerosis study. Maximum weight gain (MWG) was defined as percentage increase in weight since age 17 years to year of heaviest weight and categorized as: minor (<30 %), moderate (30-47 %), severe (>47-69 %), and extreme (>69 %). Lipid profiling was determined by vertical density gradient ultracentrifugation, thrombin-induced platelet fibrin clot strength (TIP-FCS) by thrombelastography, and urinary 11-dehydrothromboxane B2 (11-dhTxB2) by ELISA. CAD severity was defined as minimal (<20 %), moderate (20-75 %), and severe (>75 %) luminal diameter obstruction of any major coronary vessel. The mean MWG was 53 ± 33 %. Extreme MWG group had a higher incidence of diabetes mellitus (48 %), hypertension (81 %), depression (25 %), and were most often female (60 %) (p < 0.05 for all). In women, CAD severity was inversely associated to MWG (p = 0.05), whereas in men no such association was observed (p = 0.18). TIP-FCS increased in a stepwise fashion with MWG (p = 0.001). 11-dTxB2 levels were higher in the extreme MWG group, regardless of lipid lowering therapy (p < 0.05). Our data suggest that maximal weight gain since age 17 years is associated with heightened thrombogenicity, inflammation and a poorer lipid profile but not an increased risk for severe CAD development.

Abstract
Despite a strong association between body weight and mortality in the general population, clinical evidence suggests better clinical outcome of overweight or obese individuals with established coronary heart disease. This finding has been termed the 'obesity paradox', but its existence remains a point of debate, because it is mostly observed when body mass index (BMI) is used to define obesity. Inherent limitations of BMI as an index of adiposity, as well as methodological biases and the presence of confounding factors, may account for the observed findings of clinical studies. In this review, our aim is to present the data that support the presence of a BMI paradox in coronary heart disease and then explore whether next to a BMI paradox a true obesity paradox exists as well. We conclude by attempting to link the obesity paradox notion to available translational research data supporting a 'healthy', protective adipose tissue phenotype. © 2016 World Obesity.

Abstract
In the USA, 69 % of adults are either overweight or obese and 35 % are obese. Obesity is associated with an increased incidence of various cardiovascular disorders. Obesity is a risk marker for cardiovascular disease, in that it is associated with a much higher prevalence of comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome, which then increase the risk for cardiovascular disease. However, in addition, obesity may also be an independent risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, although obesity has been shown to be an independent risk factor for several cardiovascular diseases, it is often associated with improved survival once the diagnosis of the cardiovascular disease has been made, leading to the term "obesity paradox." Several pathways linking obesity and cardiovascular disease have been described. In this review, we attempt to summarize the complex relationship between obesity and cardiovascular disorders, in particular coronary atherosclerosis, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation.

Abstract
Background Obesity paradox is defined as the unexpected decrease in the total number of death which has been observed among patients who are overweight and obese compared to patients with normal weight after undergoing revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Despite of so many recent studies which showed the existence of this phenomenon, prolonged and intensive medication use were only suggested to be among the reasons responsible for this ‘obesity paradox’ but it was never confirmed whether this hypothesis should really be considered true or not. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether prolonged and intensive medication use were associated with this obesity paradox after PCI. Methods Medline, PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library were searched for studies showing the existence of this ‘obesity paradox’ in patients who underwent coronary revascularization by PCI and only articles comprising of medication use among the patients analyzed were considered relevant for this research. Medication use among the different subgroups of patients was calculated. Mortality was considered as the clinical endpoint in this study. Risk Ratio (RR) with 95 % Confidence Interval (CI) was used to express the pooled effect on discontinuous variables and the pooled analyses were performed with RevMan 5.3. Results Twelve studies consisting of a total number of 91,582 patients was included in this meta-analysis. An intensive medication use after the hospital discharge and during the follow up period after PCI was observed in the subgroup of obese patients, followed by the overweight patients and the normal weight patients respectively. Our results showed that the short-term (30 days) mortality in overweight and obese patients was significantly lower compared to the normal weight patients with RR: 0.72; 95 % CI: 0.56-0.92, p = 0.008 and RR: 0.47, 95 % CI: 0.34-0.65; p < 0.00001 respectively. The long-term (≥ one year) mortality was also significantly lower in the overweight and the obese groups with RR: 0.74, 95 % CI: 0.67-0.82; p < 0.00001 and RR: 0.63, 95 % CI: 0.55-0.72; p < 0.00001 respectively. Conclusion Our study has confirmed to some extent, that prolonged and intensive use of medications which were more prominent in patients who were overweight and obese during the follow up period, might apparently be among the reasons responsible for this obesity paradox after PCI.

Abstract
Modifiable cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndrome can easily give rise to coronary heart disease (CHD). However, due to the existence of the so-called "obesity paradox" and "smoking paradox," the impact of these modifiable cardiovascular risk factors on mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is still not clear. Therefore, in order to solve this issue, we aim to compare mortality between patients with low and high modifiable cardiovascular risk factors after PCI. Medline and EMBASE were searched for studies related to these modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. Reported outcome was all-cause mortality after PCI. Risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated, and the pooled analyses were performed with RevMan 5.3 software. A total of 100 studies consisting of 884,190 patients (330,068 and 514,122 with high and low cardiovascular risk factors respectively) have been included in this meta-analysis. Diabetes mellitus was associated with a significantly higher short and long-term mortality with RR 2.11; 95% CI: (1.91-2.33) and 1.85; 95% CI: (1.66-2.06), respectively, after PCI. A significantly higher long-term mortality in the hypertensive and metabolic syndrome patients with RR 1.45; 95% CI: (1.24-1.69) and RR 1.29; 95% CI: (1.11-1.51), respectively, has also been observed. However, an unexpectedly, significantly lower mortality risk was observed among the smokers and obese patients. Certain modifiable cardiovascular risk subgroups had a significantly higher impact on mortality after PCI. However, mortality among the obese patients and the smokers showed an unexpected paradox after coronary intervention.

Abstract
Several studies have shown the existence of an obesity paradox after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). However, other studies have shown its absence. This study sought to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing the mortality risk between high body mass index patients and normal weight patients after PCI.We have searched PubMed, Embase, and Chinese medical journal for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies published between the year 2000 and 2015 by typing the keywords "percutaneous coronary intervention" and "obesity paradox." The main outcome was "all-cause mortality". RevMan 5.3 software was used to calculate the risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) to express the pooled effect on discontinuous variables.Twenty-two studies have been included in this meta-analysis consisting of a total of 242,377 patients with 73,143 normal weight patients, 103,608 overweight, and 65,626 obese patients. Younger age, higher cardiovascular risk factors and the intensive use of medications have mainly been observed among obese patients followed by overweight and normal weight patients respectively. In-hospital, 12 months and ≥ 1 year (long-term) mortality risks were significantly lower in the overweight and obese groups with (RR: 0.67; 95% CI: 0.63-0.72, P < 0.00001) and (RR: 0.60; 95% CI: 0.56-0.65, P < 0.00001) respectively in the in-hospital follow-up (RR: 0.62; 95% CI: 0.55-0.71 and 0.57; 95% CI: 0.52-0.63, P < 0.00001) at 12 months, and (RR: 0.70; 95% CI: 0.64-0.76; P < 0.00001) and (RR: 0.80; 95% CI: 0.71-0.91, P = 0.0006) respectively for the long-term follow-up after PCI.This "obesity paradox" does exist after PCI. The mortality in overweight and obese patients is really significantly lower compared to the normal weight patients. However, the exact reasons for this phenomenon need further exploration and research in the future.

Abstract
Obesity used to be among the more neglected public health problems, but has unfolded as a growing medical and socioeconomic burden of epidemic proportions. Morbid obesity is linked to traditional cardiovascular risk factors like, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes, and suspected to incur increased morbidity and mortality in the Western and even third world populations. This patient cohort is also at greater risk to develop coronary artery disease. Recent population-based registries revealed that 43% and 24% of all cases of coronary revascularization were carried out in overweight and obese patients, respectively. However, despite evidence of a positive correlation between obesity and increased cardiovascular morbidity, some authors have described a better clinical outcome in overweight and obese patients, a phenomenon they coined “obesity paradoxon”. Thus, there is an ongoing debate in light of conflicting data and the possibility of confounding bias causing misconception and challenging the “obesity paradox”. In this review article we present the current evidence and throughly discuss the validity of the “obesity paradoxon” in a variety of clinical settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An increased body mass index (BMI) is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular disease and reduction in life expectancy. However, several studies reported improved clinical outcomes in obese patients treated for cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the present study is to investigate the impact of BMI on long-term clinical outcomes after implantation of zotarolimus eluting stents. METHODS Individual patient data were pooled from the RESOLUTE Clinical Program comprising five trials worldwide. The study population was sorted according to BMI tertiles and clinical outcomes were evaluated at 2-year follow-up. RESULTS Data from a total of 5,127 patients receiving the R-ZES were included in the present study. BMI tertiles were as follow: I tertile (≤ 25.95 kg/m(2) -Low or normal weight) 1,727 patients; II tertile (>25.95 ≤ 29.74 kg/m(2) -overweight) 1,695 patients, and III tertile (>29.74 kg/m(2) -obese) 1,705 patients. At 2-years follow-up no difference was found for patients with high BMI (III tertile) compared with patients with normal or low BMI (I tertile) in terms of target lesion failure (I-III tertile, HR [95% CI] = 0.89 [0.69, 1.14], P = 0.341; major adverse cardiac events (I-III tertile, HR [95% CI] = 0.90 [0.72, 1.14], P = 0.389; cardiac death (I-III tertile, HR [95% CI] = 1.20 [0.73, 1.99], P = 0.476); myocardial infarction (I-III tertile, HR [95% CI] = 0.86 [0.55, 1.35], P = 0.509; clinically-driven target lesion revascularization (I-III tertile, HR [95% CI] = 0.75 [0.53, 1.08], P = 0.123; definite or probable stent thrombosis (I-III tertile, HR [95% CI] = 0.98 [0.49, 1.99], P = 0.964. CONCLUSIONS In the present study, the patients' body mass index was found to have no impact on long-term clinical outcomes after coronary artery interventions.

Abstract
With the increasing prevalence of obesity, clinicians are now facing a growing population of patients with specific features of clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and interventional, medical, and surgical management. After briefly discussing the effect of obesity on atherosclerotic burden in this review, we will focus on strategies clinicians might use to ensure better outcomes when performing revascularization in obese and severely obese patients. These patients tend to present comorbidities at a younger age, and their anthropometric features might limit the use of traditional cardiovascular risk stratification approaches for ischemic disease. Alternative techniques have emerged, especially in nuclear medicine. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography might be the diagnostic imaging technique of choice. When revascularization is considered, features associated with obesity must be considered to guide therapeutic strategies. In percutaneous coronary intervention, a radial approach should be favoured, and adequate antiplatelet therapy with new and more potent agents should be initiated. Weight-based anticoagulation should be contemplated if needed, with the use of drug-eluting stents. An "off-pump" approach for coronary artery bypass grafting might be preferable to the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. For patients who undergo bilateral internal thoracic artery grafting, harvesting using skeletonization might prevent deep sternal wound infections. In contrast to percutaneous coronary intervention, lower surgical bleeding has been observed when lean body mass is used for perioperative heparin dose determination.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship of body mass index (BMI) with total mortality, cardiovascular (CV) mortality, and myocardial infarction (MI) after coronary revascularization procedures (coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG] and percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI]). PATIENTS AND METHODS Systematic search of studies was conducted using PubMed, CINAHL, Cochran CENTRAL, Scopus, and the Web of Science databases. We identified studies reporting the rate of MI, CV mortality, and total mortality among coronary artery disease patients' postcoronary revascularization procedures in various BMI categories: less than 20 (underweight), 20-24.9 (normal reference), 25-29.9 (overweight), 30-34.9 (obese), and 35 or more (severely obese). Event rates were compared using a random effects model assuming interstudy heterogeneity. RESULTS A total of 36 studies (12 CABG; 26 PCI) were selected for final analyses. The risk of total mortality (relative risk [RR], 2.59; 95% CI, 2.09-3.21), CV mortality (RR, 2.67; 95% CI, 1.63-4.39), and MI (RR, 1.79; 95% CI, 1.28-2.50) was highest among patients with low BMI at the end of a mean follow-up period of 1.7 years. The risk of CV mortality was lowest among overweight patients (RR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.68-0.95). Increasing degree of adiposity as assessed by BMI had a neutral effect on the risk of MI for overweight (RR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.84-1.01), obese (RR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.85-1.15), and severely obese (RR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.78-1.11) patients. CONCLUSION After coronary artery disease revascularization procedures (PCI and CABG), the risk of total mortality, CV mortality, and MI was highest among underweight patients as defined by low BMI and CV mortality was lowest among overweight patients.

Abstract
The prevalence of obesity is increasing at an epidemic rate globally with more than 1 billion adults overweight and at least 300 million of them clinically obese. This is expected to rise further in the next 20 to 30 years. Obesity is known to be an independent risk factor for serious health conditions, including hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Given the association of obesity with cardiovascular disease, it could be speculated that obese individuals would have adverse outcomes after a cardiovascular event compared to those with normal body mass index (BMI). However, various studies have reported a paradoxical U-shaped relationship between obesity and mortality from various diseases, including myocardial infarction and heart failure, suggesting that patients with higher BMI have similar or lower short- and long-term mortality rates. This phenomenon has been termed the 'obesity paradox' or 'reverse epidemiology'. The goal of this review is to evaluate the potential mechanisms behind the obesity paradox and its implications.
