The effects of bariatric surgery on cardiac function: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Obesity is associated with alterations in cardiac structure and haemodynamics leading to cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Culminating evidence suggests improvement of cardiac structure and function following bariatric surgery.

Objective

To evaluate the effect of bariatric surgery on cardiac structure and function in patients before and after bariatric surgery.

Methods

Systematic review and meta-analysis of studies reporting pre- and postoperative cardiac structure and function parameters on cardiac imaging in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

Results

Eighty studies of 3332 patients were included. Bariatric surgery is associated with a statistically significant improvement in cardiac geometry and function including a decrease of 12.2% (9
