Medical Research Breakthroughs and Heart attack

Obese kids at risk of heart trouble: Researchers at the Ohio State University College of Medicine have found that childhood and adolescent obesity negatively impacts vascular endothelial function, which relates to cardiac health. The study was designed to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and endothelial function measured via VOP in 76 children and adolescents ages nine through 18. BMI is a number calculated from a person's weight and height and it provides a reliable indicator of the amount of body fat. It is known that healthy endothelium (a single cell layer that lines all blood vessels) is key to maintaining vascular health. Endothelial "dysfunction" is a primary contributor to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (the build-up of fatty deposits on the inside walls of arteries) in adults and is associated with increased risk of heart attacks, stroke, and congestive heart failure. Endothelial function can be measured non-invasively in children using venous occlusion plethysmography (VOP), a technique that measures responses of arm blood vessel responses to an inflatable cuff that externally halts and restarts blood flow. This method has been shown to correlate with coronary artery function in adults with heart disease.
