Predictive Score for Significant Diastolic Dysfunction in Patients with Morbid Obesity Undergoing Bariatric Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Morbid obesity is a well-established risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Diastolic dysfunction, particularly in non-cardiac surgeries, has been associated with increased incidence of adverse cardiovascular events. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of diastolic dysfunction in morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery and to identify associated clinical risk factors using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).

Methods

In this prospective observational study, 113 morbidly obese patients scheduled for bariatric surgery between April 2019 and January 2023 were enrolled. Diastolic function was assessed after anesthesia induction using TEE and categorized as normal or grade I, II, or III dysfunction based on the E/e' ratio. The primary study out
