Abstract
2050 Left ventricular structural changes in subjects with severe uncomplicated obesity are reversible with significant weight loss. A one year follow up study
Highlights
2050 Left ventricular structural changes in subjects with severe uncomplicated obesity are reversible with significant weight loss
Obesity per se was associated with elevated left ventricular mass (126 ± 28 vs 92 ± 24 g; p < 0.001), left ventricular mass indexed to height (75 ± 14 vs 54 ± 12 g/m; p < 0.001) and end-diastolic volume (146 ± 20 vs 122 ± 22 ml; p < 0.001)
