Association between cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy and left ventricular hypertrophy in young patients with congenital generalized lipodystrophy

Abstract: Background Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL) is a rare disorder characterized by the absence of subcutaneous adipose tissue, severe insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular complications, including cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN), left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), and atherosclerosis. The present study aimed to access the association between CAN parameters and cardiovascular abnormalities in CGL patients. Methods A cross-sectional study wa… Show more

“…Tadic et al [39][40][41] performed 3 studies indicating HRV indices were significantly associated with findings of 2-and 3-dimensional echocardiography. Ponte et al [42] found that HF was significantly lower in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy. However, a Portuguese study showed no correlation was found between HRV and echocardiographic measurements in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients [43].…”

“…Moreover, these pathophysiological changes in cardiomyocytes determine the risk factors for development of IR and hyperinsulinemia, resulting in a potentially vicious cycle, which gives rise to the question: does HF cause T2D? [12] .…”

“…At the morphological level, they present prominent musculature, prognathism, umbilical protrusion, acanthosis nigricans, and phlebomegaly [4][5][6][7][8]. Cardiovascular (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, arterial hypertension, cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy, and atherosclerosis) and respiratory disturbances (respiratory muscle weakness) have been currently described in patients with CGL [4,[9][10][11][12][13]. Lipodystrophic subjects may have muscle dysfunction and several pathophysiological mechanisms may be related, including increased endoplasmic reticulum stress [14].…”
