Hemodynamic Effects of Weight Loss in Obesity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The authors aimed to explore whether weight loss may improve central hemodynamics in obesity.

Background

Hemodynamic abnormalities in obese heart failure with preserved ejection fraction patients are correlated with the amount of excess body mass, suggesting a possible causal relationship.

Methods

Relevant databases were systematically searched from inception to May 2018, without language restriction. Studies reporting invasive hemodynamic measures before and following therapeutic weight loss interventions in patients with obesity but no clinically overt heart failure were extracted.

Results

A total of 9 studies were identified, providing data for 110 patients. Six studies tested dietary intervention and 3 studies tested bariatric surgery. Over a med
