May support weight loss for reverse remodeling in obese patients; leaves open optimal strategies and RCT confirmation.
Does weight reduction improve left ventricular function and reduce LV mass in obese patients?
Weight reduction in obese patients leads to reverse cardiac remodeling with regression of LV mass and chamber size, an effect that may be enhanced by concurrent beta-blocker therapy.
Lakhani et al. (2010) conducted a review in Obesity. Weight reduction was evaluated. Weight loss through caloric restriction or surgery results in favorable hemodynamic changes and regression of left ventricular mass and chamber size.
