Does laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy improve cardiac reverse remodeling and fibrosis in morbidly obese patients?
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy may improve echocardiographic parameters of diastolic function, such as mitral E peak velocity, at 6 months postoperatively.
AbstractAim: We aimed to investigate the effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on cardiac reverse remodeling and fibrosis in obese patients. Methods: This prospective study included 72 consecutive patients who underwent LSG for morbid obesity and 72 age- and sex-matched healthy controls between 2020 and 2022. Clinical and echocardiographic evaluations, including serum Galectin-3 (Gal-3) levels and anthropometric measurements, were performed at baseline and at the 6th month postoperatively.Results: There was a significant increase in the mean mitral E peak velocity (p
Tepe et al. (Tue,) conducted a cohort in morbid obesity (n=144). laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) vs. healthy controls was evaluated on mean mitral E peak velocity. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy was associated with a significant increase in the mean mitral E peak velocity at 6 months postoperatively.
