Objective The aim of the meta-analysis was to determine the association of obesity and
heart failure (HF) and the cardiac impact of intentional weight loss following bariatric surgery …

Introduction Obesity is associated with alterations in cardiac structure and haemodynamics
leading to cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Culminating evidence suggests …

Background This meta-analysis was performed to investigate how cardiac structures and
functions change in the very early stage after bariatric surgery. Materials and Methods We …

The purpose of this study was to provide pooled data from all studies on the impact of
bariatric surgery on cardiac structure, and systolic and diastolic function evaluated by either …

Aim: Current evidence on the effects of bariatric surgery on cardiac mechanics in patients
with obesity is based on a few single studies. We investigated this issue through a meta …

Objective The aim of this study was to examine echocardiographic parameters of left
ventricle (LV) mechanics in obese patients before and after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Design …

Notwithstanding the presence of hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, or both, obesity is
associated with increased left ventricular (LV) mass. The effects of bariatric surgery on LV …

Purpose The aim of this study was to compare myocardial mechanics using global
longitudinal strain (GLS) before and after single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with …

Aim This study aimed to investigate left ventricular functions of obese patients with no known
heart disease who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy by speckle tracking …

Arterial stiffness has been identified as a powerful and independent risk factor for
cardiovascular disease. Obesity is associated with an increased risk of aortic stiffness (AS) …
