  • Impact of obesity and surgical weight reduction on cardiac remodeling

    2018, Indian Heart Journal
    Citation Excerpt :

    Conventional echo parameters showed that inspite of increased LV volumes befor surgery there was normal systolic function, but after surgery there was significant decrease of LVESV and LVEDV from 66.57 ± 22 to 37.2 ± 12 (p < 0.001), and from 169.4 ± 43.2 to 120.36 ± 19.6 ml (p < 0.001) respectively, with increased EF% from 59 ± 8 to 67 ± 7 ml (p < 0.001) and also there was significant decrease in LVMI from143 ± 11 to 95.5 ± 7gm/m2 (p < 0.001). These results were in agreement with Graziani et al.12 who showed a significant decrease in weight and BMI paralleled by a significant reduction of left ventricular (LV) mass and LV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes and a significant increase of LV ejection fraction. Sevda et al.13 found that LV ejection phase indices, LV ejection fraction and fractional shortening, were normal at baseline bu they didn’t demonstrate significant changes at follow-up, which can be explained by shorter follow up period that was only for only 3months.
