Longitudinal study on the effect of surgical weight loss on beat-to-beat blood pressure variability in patients undergoing bariatric surgery: a study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Alterations in linear and non-linear parameters of beat-to-beat blood pressure variability (BPV) have been shown to predict disease prognosis and distinguish between risk categories in various pathological conditions, independently of average blood pressure levels. Obesity places subjects at elevated risk of vascular diseases, including hypertension, resulting in serious cardiac, respiratory and cerebral events. However, little is known about the status of vascular dynamics in obese and morbidly obese adults.

Methods and analysis

In this present quasi-experimental longitudinal study, changes in beat-to-beat BPV, using continuous, non-invasive blood pressure monitoring, in obese subjects undergoing bariatric surgery are characterised. The capacity of linear and n
