\"\"Una reciente investigaci\u00f3n realizada en los Estados Unidos sugiere que los hombres altos ser\u00edan menos propensos que los bajos a desarrollar insuficiencia card\u00edaca. <\/p>\n

Aun as\u00ed, los investigadores estimaron que podr\u00eda existir algo en la biolog\u00eda de las personas m\u00e1s altas, como la distancia entre el coraz\u00f3n y ciertas ramas arteriales y vasos sangu\u00edneos, lo que reducir\u00eda el estr\u00e9s card\u00edaco.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo es algo a lo que le demos demasiada importancia en la pr\u00e1ctica diaria cuando pensamos en los riesgos\u201d, se\u00f1al\u00f3 el doctor Jeffrey Teuteberg, cardi\u00f3logo del Centro M\u00e9dico de la University of Pittsburgh y que no particip\u00f3 del estudio.<\/p>\n

Los datos surgen de 22.000 m\u00e9dicos de 55 a\u00f1os controlados durante un estudio sobre enfermedad card\u00edaca y c\u00e1ncer.<\/p>\n

El estudio incluye informaci\u00f3n de unos 22 a\u00f1os de seguimiento, en los que 1.444 hombres (el 7 por ciento) desarrollaron insuficiencia card\u00edaca, que es cuando el coraz\u00f3n no tiene fuerza suficiente como para bombearle sangre al resto del cuerpo o no se relaja despu\u00e9s de cada latido.<\/p>\n

El equipo del doctor Luc Djousse, del Hospital de Brigham y las Mujeres y de la Facultad de Medicina de Harvard, en Boston, determin\u00f3 que cuanto m\u00e1s altos eran los hombres, menos posibilidad ten\u00edan de desarrollar insuficiencia card\u00edaca.<\/p>\n

Los participantes m\u00e1s altos (de m\u00e1s de 1,80 metros) eran un 24 por ciento menos propensos a haber recibido un diagn\u00f3stico de insuficiencia card\u00edaca durante el estudio que los de 1,76 metros o menos, seg\u00fan detalla el equipo en American Journal of Cardiology.<\/p>\n

Tall men at lower risk of heart failure, study suggests<\/p>\n

Tall men are less likely than shorter men to develop heart failure, suggests a study of U.S. doctors.<\/p>\n

The finding doesn’t prove that a few extra inches protect the heart, and it’s possible that tall and short people are different in other ways \u2014 including in their diets or diseases growing up \u2014 that could affect heart risks.<\/p>\n

Still, researchers said it’s possible that something about the biology of taller people \u2014 such as the distance between their hearts and certain branches of arteries and blood vessels \u2014 could decrease stress on the heart.<\/p>\n

Data came from 22,000 male doctors who were followed as part of a large study of heart disease and cancer, starting when they were in their mid-50s, on average.<\/p>\n

After responding to an initial questionnaire that asked about their height, weight and health condition, men filled out follow-up surveys each year.<\/p>\n

The report includes information from an average of 22 years of that follow-up, during which 1,444 men, or about 7 percent, developed heart failure.<\/p>\n

Dr. Luc Djousse of Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston and his colleagues found that the taller men were, the lower their chance of heart failure.<\/p>\n

The tallest men in the study \u2014 those more than 6 feet \u2014 were 24 percent less likely to report a heart failure diagnosis during the study period than men who were 5 foot 8 or shorter.<\/p>\n

That was after men’s age and weight, as well as whether they had high blood pressure or diabetes, had been taken into account, the researchers reported in the American Journal of Cardiology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
