Article Synopsis
- Surgical weight loss (SWL) has been shown to improve heart function as measured by specific imaging techniques, but its effects compared to non-surgical methods in overweight Asian individuals were previously unstudied.
- A study involved 66 patients who completed a 16-week lifestyle intervention program and revealed significant weight loss, but only a non-significant improvement in heart strain metrics.
- In contrast, participants who underwent bariatric surgery exhibited notable improvements in heart function, confirming that surgical weight loss is a strong independent factor for enhancing heart strain parameters.
Introduction: This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of postoperative computed tomography (CT) measurements of aortic lumen volumes in predicting aortic-related complications following acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) repair.
Methods: We conducted a single-institution retrospective aortic volumetric analysis of patients after ascending aorta replacement performed during 2001-2015. The volumetric measurements of total lumen (total-L), true lumen (TL), false lumen (FL), as well as the TL:FL ratio from the first and second postoperative computer angiograms were obtained.
