Why the study?
Obesity is associated with cardiovascular complications, and global longitudinal strain is a method used to monitor heart function before and after sleeve gastrectomy.
Does sleeve gastrectomy improve echocardiographic parameters including GLS in obese patients?
Does sleeve gastrectomy improve echocardiographic parameters including GLS in obese patients?
This study aims to evaluate changes in echocardiographic parameters, specifically Global Longitudinal Strain, before and after sleeve gastrectomy.
May support GLS monitoring of cardiac function after sleeve gastrectomy in obesity; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Background & Objective: Obesity is one of the problems associated with cardiovascular complications. Patients' heart function improves after sleeve gastrectomy. Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS) is one of the methods used to monitor heart function before and after sleeve gastrectomy. In this study, we evaluated the echocardiographic parameters pre and post sleeve gastrectomy.
