Open AccessAssessing the Cardiovascular Alterations from Obesity and Systemic Inflammatory Diseases

Abstract
Traditional and emerging risk factors cause functional and structural damage in the arterial endothelium, leading the patient to various stages and degrees of cardiovascular disability that become incompatible with life.
Diseases with high and low levels of inflammation that act on the arterial wall can develop changes in cardiovascular hemodynamics such as arterial hypertension and even cause the appearance of brief phases of atrial fibrillation.
In this study were entered 1231 patients to observe the responses in cardiovascular hemodynamics assessed with arterial tonometry during the action of low-grade inflammation diseases how obesity and high-grade inflammation from systemic diseases.
A high prevalence of hyperlipidemia was found among systemic inflammatory diseases. Obesity was a major stimulus to receive therapy for arterial hypertension in relation to systemic inflammatory diseases. Both obesity and systemic inflammatory diseases produced the same pathological responses in cardiovascular hemodynamics, and also the presence of brief phases of atrial fibrillation was similar.
