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.
Through extensive multisystem phenotyping, the central aim of Project PICMAN is to correlate metabolic flexibility to measures of cardiometabolic health, including myocardial diastolic dysfunction, coronary and cerebral atherosclerosis, body fat distribution and severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. This cohort will form the basis of larger interventional trials targeting metabolic inflexibility in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Participants aged 21-72 years with no prior manifest atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) are being recruited from a preventive cardiology clinic and an existing cohort of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in an academic medical centre.

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.
Introduction: Bariatric surgery is considered an effective treatment for weight loss and for improving the metabolic profile of patients with obesity. Obesity-related comorbidities such as hyperlipidaemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) are significant cardiovascular risk factors. Additionally, prospective clinical trials have shown that statins increase the risk of development of DM, and many patients with obesity are on statins.
