BackgroundThe association of body mass index (BMI) with diastolic dysfunction (DD) is well described in the literature. However, there is conflicting evidence and long-term follow-up data regarding effects of BMI on preclinical DD and left atrial (LA) function are scarce, highlighting the importance of early detection tools, such as myocardial strain.PurposeThe aim of our study was to prospectively analyze the impact of clinical and demographic parameters, especially of BMI, on worsening of diastolic function and left atrial strain (LAS) in an urban population of women with a low prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors.Methods and ResultsAn extensive clinical and echocardiographic assessment comprising the analysis of phasic LAS using two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D STE) was performed in 258 participants of the Berlin Female Risk Evaluation (BEFRI) trial between October 2019 and December 2020 after a mean follow-up period of 6.8 years. We compared clinical and echocardiographic parameters stratifying women by BMI < or ≥25 kg/m2, and we analyzed the impact of demographic characteristics on the worsening of DD and LA mechanics in the longer-term follow-up using univariate and multivariate regression analyses. 248 women were suitable for echocardiographic analysis of LAS using 2D STE. After a mean follow-up time of 6.8 years, LA reservoir strain (LASr) and LA conduit strain (LAScd) were significantly reduced in participants with a BMI ≥25 kg/m2 compared with women with a BMI |
