Exercise,Metabolic Syndrome and Weight Regain (Echocardiography Substudy)

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Metabolic Syndrome
Obesity
Interventions
Procedure: Stress Echocardiography
Registration Number
NCT00543985
Lead Sponsor
University of Missouri-Columbia
Brief Summary

We plan to test the hypothesis that patients with metabolic syndrome will have impaired left ventricular diastolic parameters. These parameters will be measured before and after a stress test at the end of a 3 month period of exercise training and a 10% weight loss.

Detailed Description

Patients must have 2 of the 5 criteria for metabolic syndrome and be able to exercise in a monitored setting for 45 min 5 times a week.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean Resting E/E'12 weeks

E/E' is an echocardiographic parameter where E = early mitral inflow velocity and E' = early diastolic mitral annular motion. Measured in all participants prior to treadmill stress test.

Post-exercise E/E'12 weeks

E/E' is an echocardiographic parameter where E = early mitral inflow velocity and E' = early diastolic mitral annular motion. Measured in all participants immediately following treadmill stress test.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Maximal Oxygen Uptake (VO2 Max)12 weeks

Measure of the maximum volume of oxygen that a body is capable of utilizing in one minute, measured in milliliters per kilogram of body weight per minute (ml/kg/min) Measured in all participants immediately following treadmill stress test.
