Official title
The Weight of Cardiovascular Disease: A Prospective Pilot Study of Obese Adults With Cardiovascular Disease Evaluated in a Novel Cardiometabolic Clinic
Overview
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a cardiometabolic clinic on percent body weight loss, body mass index (BMI), and visceral adiposity distribution in obese adults with cardiovascular disease (CVD) at 12 months.
Primary outcome measures
- Percent body weight loss [Time frame: 12 months]
- Change in Body Mass Index (BMI) [Time frame: Baseline, 12 months]
- Change in visceral adiposity distribution [Time frame: Baseline, 12 months]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
- Change in Blood Pressure [Time frame: Baseline, 12 months]
- Change in point of care glucose [Time frame: Baseline, 12 months]
- Change in quality of diet [Time frame: Baseline, 12 months]
- Change in psychosocial distress as measured by Screening Tool for Psychological Distress (STOP-D) [Time frame: Baseline, 12 months]
- Change in psychosocial distress as measured by Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) [Time frame: Baseline, 12 months]
- Change in psychosocial distress as measured by Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) Questionnaire [Time frame: Baseline, 12 months]
- Change in functional aerobic capacity (VO2 Max) [Time frame: Baseline, 12 months]
- Change in artificial intelligence electrocardiogram (AI-ECG) age [Time frame: Baseline, 12 months]
- Change in E/e' [Time frame: Baseline, 12 months]
- Change in Peak Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR) Velocity [Time frame: Baseline, 12 months]
- Change in Right Atrial (RA) Pressure [Time frame: Baseline, 12 months]
- Change in Left Atrial (LA) volume index [Time frame: Baseline, 12 months]
