NCT01284816

Brief Summary

Growing evidence suggests that bariatric surgery is a relevant treatment for severely obese patients, especially those with metabolic complications, as it significantly reduces weight, hypertension and ameliorates glycemic control. Its action on adipose tissue distribution and in particular on epicardial adipose tissue EAT remains unknown. Whether metabolic improvement is associated with EAT reduction is also unknown. The researchers thus investigated the effect of bariatric surgery on EAT in severely obese patients. The primary endpoint of this study was the change in EAT amount 6 months after bariatric surgery.
