Why the study?
Bariatric surgery improves cardiac function in obesity, but very few studies have evaluated these effects in the Chinese population.
Does bariatric surgery improve cardiac function and structure in Chinese subjects with obesity?
Does bariatric surgery improve cardiac function and structure in Chinese subjects with obesity?
Bariatric surgery-linked weight loss was associated with improved LV structure/function in Chinese obesity patients; hypothesis-generating, needs prospective trials.
Obesity contributes to cardiac dysfunction and has an impact on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Bariatric surgery (BS) is being considered a therapeutic option for patients with obesity and also can improve cardiac function. Very few studies considered the Chinese population. This study aimed to examine the effect of BS on cardiac function and structure in Chinese subjects with obesity.
