Do normal hemodynamics parameters in bariatric patients belie intrinsic myocardial dysfunction? A cardiovascular MRI study
Year: 2010
Type: article
Abstract: Classical teachings describe adverse cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in patients with BMI>30 such that refined bariatric surgical approaches have evolved attempting to reduce the observed morbidity and mortality of obesity. However, recently, numerous investigations report a paradoxically more normal CV risk profile as assessed by standard clinical tools such as echocardiography, nuclear or catheterization.
