About
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of bariatric surgery on cardiac function assessed by echocardiography in patients with hypertension.
Full description
Obesity is the most common chronic metabolic disease worldwide, causing the increasing burden of cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, and affecting cardiac structure and function in the long term. Nowadays, bariatric surgery is regarded as the most effective approach for weight loss, and the only approach for reducing obesity-related cardiovascular events. However, the effect of different bariatric surgeries such as laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on cardiac function in patients with hypertension is still unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the benefit of different bariatric surgeries on cardiac structure and function echocardiography in patients with hypertension.
