Obesity is one of the major risk factors for hypertension. Body mass index (BMI) is the most used anthropometric index to measure obesity in clinical practice and to assess the risk of obesity-related diseases. However, obesity is a heterogeneous disease, and the accumulation of fat in different body regions leads to differences in cardiovascular and metabolic risks. BMI only reflects the overall obesity but does not consider the distribution of fat and muscle mass. The limitation of BMI makes it insufficient to assess the risk of hypertension attributed to obesity. In addition, waist circumference is an easily obtainable anthropometric index to evaluate abdominal fat distribution. High waist circumference is an independent risk factor for various cardiovascular diseases and all-cause mortality regardless of BMI. Preliminary data indicate that waist circumference is significantly associated with the risk of hypertension at different BMI levels. However, routine measurement of waist circumference is currently not required in current clinical guidelines or is only recommended for obese populations, indicating an insufficient understanding of waist circumference. In this review, we summarize the measurement methods and diagnostic thresholds of waist circumference for abdominal obesity, the trend of central obesity prevalence, the superiority of waist circumference over other anthropometric indices, and recent cross-sectional and longitudinal studies on the association between obesity and hypertension.</p>","PeriodicalId":10832,"journal":{"name":"Current Cardiology Reviews","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11327828/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140305176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The search strategy included terms related to IGD, cardiophysiology, neurophysiology, and relevant measurement techniques. Inclusion criteria encompassed peer-reviewed research articles and clinical trials examining cardiophysiological (e.g., heart rate variability, blood pressure) and neurophysiological (e.g., brain imaging, electroencephalography) parameters in individuals with IGD. Exclusion criteria were applied to ensure methodological rigor and relevance to the research question.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The initial search yielded 1320 papers related to IGD, of which twenty studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the review. Data extraction and synthesis focused on key cardiophysiological and neurophysiological outcomes observed in individuals with IGD compared to healthy controls. Findings revealed decreased Heart Rate Variability (HRV), increased sympathetic activity, and executive control deficits in IGD individuals based on Electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings and cognitive assessments. Neuroimaging studies demonstrated heightened brain activation in the lateral and prefrontal cortex, altered reward processing, and impulse control mechanisms among IGD subjects. Gender-specific differences were noted, with males exhibiting distinct thalamic activation striatum and decreased Regional Homogeneity (ReHo) in the right Posterior Cingulate (rPCC) compared to females.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discussion: &lt;/strong&gt;The synthesized evidence indicates a complex interplay between excessive gaming and cardiophysiological/neurophysiological changes, highlighting the need for multidimensional assessments in diagnosing and managing IGD. Implications for clinical practice include early detection using ECG, EEG, and advanced neuroimaging techniques, as well as personalized interventions tailored to individual characteristics and gender-specific differences.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;This systematic review provides a comprehensive overview of the cardiophysiological and neurophysiological activities associated with Internet Gaming Disorder.

However, their precise role in atherosclerosis and potential utility as a therapeutic target remains debated topics. This review aims to shed light on these aspects by exploring the complex relationship between triglycerides and atherosclerosis from pathophysiological and pharmacological perspectives. Triglycerides, primarily carried by chylomicrons and very low-density lipoproteins, play an essential role in energy storage and utilization. Dysregulation of triglyceride homeostasis and triglyceride- rich lipoproteins metabolism often leads to hypertriglyceridemia and subsequently increases atherosclerosis risk. Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins remnants interact with arterial wall endothelial cells, get retained in the subendothelial space, and elicit inflammatory responses, thereby accelerating atherogenesis. Despite the clear association between high triglyceride levels and increased cardiovascular disease risk, intervention trials targeting triglyceride reduction have produced mixed results. We discuss a range of triglyceride-lowering agents, from fibrates to omega-3 fatty acids, with a focus on their mechanism of action, efficacy, and major clinical trial outcomes. Notably, the role of newer agents, such as angiopoietin-like protein 3 and apolipoprotein C3 inhibitors, is also explored. We highlight the challenges and controversies, including the ongoing debate on the causal role of triglyceride in atherosclerosis and the discordant outcomes of recent clinical trials. The potential confounding effects of associated risk factors, such as elevated apolipoprotein B, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome, are considered. In conclusion, this review underscores the importance of a nuanced approach to understanding the role of triglycerides in atherosclerosis and their potential as a therapeutic target. Further research is needed to unravel the complex interplay between triglycerides, triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, and associated factors in atherosclerosis pathogenesis and refine triglyceride-targeted therapeutic strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":10832,"journal":{"name":"Current Cardiology Reviews","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11107470/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139575469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
