Key result
Obesity exerts deleterious effects on cardiac function, whereas excessive weight loss from bariatric surgery impacts the structural and haemodynamic responses of both ventricles.
Why the study?
Does excessive weight loss due to bariatric surgery affect cardiac function, structural changes and haemodynamic responses in patients with obesity?
Does excessive weight loss due to bariatric surgery affect cardiac function, structural changes and haemodynamic responses in patients with obesity?
This review evaluates the impact of bariatric surgery-induced weight loss on biventricular cardiac structure, function, and haemodynamics.
, is the most common chronic metabolic disease worldwide and its prevalence has been strongly increasing. Obesity has deleterious effects on cardiac function. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the effects of obesity and excessive weight loss due to bariatric surgery on cardiac function, structural changes and haemodynamic responses of both the left and right ventricle.
