  • dc.description.abstract Echocardiographic alterations have been described in obesity, but their modifications after bariatric surgery (BS) and mechanisms are little known, mostly in normotensive patients. We aimed to analyze cardiac changes 1 year post-BS and to explore possible mechanisms. A cohort of patients with severe obesity (58% normotensives) were prospectively recruited and examined before surgery and after 12 months. Clinical and echocardiographic data, 24 h BP, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) components, cytokines, and inflammatory markers were analyzed at these two time points. Overall reduction in body weight was mean (IQR) = 30.0% (25.9-33.8). There were statistically significant decreases in left ventricle mass index2.7 (LVMI)2.7 , septum thickness (ST), posterior wall thickness (PWT), relative wall thickness (RWT), and E/e', both in the whole cohort and in patients without RAAS blockers (p ≤ .04 for all). Plasma renin activity (PRA) decreased from (median, IQR) = 0.8 (0.3;1.35) to 0.4 (0.2;0.93) ng/ml/h, plasma aldosterone from 92 (58.6;126) to 68.1 (56.2;83.4) ng/dl, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)-2 activity from 7.7 (5.7;11.8) to 6.8 (5.3;11.2) RFU/µl/h, p < .05. The body weight loss correlated with a decrease in both 24 h SBP and 24 h DBP (Pearson's coefficient 0.353, p = .022 and 0.384, p = .012, respectively). Variation (Δ) of body weight correlated with ΔE/e' (Pearson's coeff. 0.414, p = .008) and with Δ lateral e' (Pearson's coeff. = -0.363, p = .018). Generalized linear models showed that ΔPRA was an independent variable for the final (12-months post-BS) LVMI2.7 (p = .028). No other changes in cardiac parameters correlated with ΔBP. In addition to the respective baseline value, final values of PWT and RWT were dependent on 12-month Δ of PRA, ACE, and ACE/ACE2 (p < .03 for all). We conclude that there are cardiac changes post-BS in patients with severe obesity, normotensives included. Structural changes appear to be related to modifications in the renin-angiotensin axis.
