Subcutaneous fat thickness, but not epicardial fat thickness, parallel weight reduction after bariatric surgery: a cardiac magnetic resonance study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Bariatric surgery is a very effective treatment for morbid obesity, generally improving the obesity related metabolic derangements. Epicardial fat (EPIFAT) is a visceral fat depot measurable in cardiac magnetic resonance. Changes in EPIFAT after bariatric surgery has been described, but it is not well characterized. We hypothesized that the reduction of the thoracic fat components after bariatric surgery is heterogeneous.

Effects of bariatric surgery on cardiac ectopic fat: lesser decrease in epicardial fat compared to visceral fat loss and no change in myocardial triglyceride content.
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the effect of bariatric surgery (BS)-induced weight loss on cardiac ectopic fat using 3T magnetic resonance imaging in morbid obesity. BACKGROUND Heart disease is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in obese patients. Deposition of cardiac ectopic fat has been related to increased heart risk. Whether sustained weight loss can modulate epicar...
متن کاملCorrelation between reduction of superior interventricular groove epicardial fat thickness and improvement of insulin resistance after weight loss in obese men
BACKGROUND It has been recognized that reduction of abdominal visceral fat and subcutaneous fat are associated with improvement in insulin-resistance (IR) after weight loss. However, few studies have investigated the correlation of reduction in epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) with improvement of IR index after weight loss in obese non-diabetic men with metabolic syndrome (MetS). METHODS AND R...
متن کاملUltrasonographic evaluation of visceral and subcutaneous abdominal fat tissue before and after bariatric surgery.
Visceral fat is considered a key factor in the development of metabolic syndrome and other pathological conditions and diseases associated with obesity. Therefore, analysis of the dynamics of reducing the amount of abdominal visceral fat is important for evaluating the therapeutic effects of different modalities of obesity treatment, including bariatric surgery. In 53 obese patients visceral an...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effects of bariatric surgery-induced weight loss on physical function, the properties of quadriceps femoris muscle (QFM), and the subjective disabilities of the subjects with excessive weight. METHODS Thirteen female and three male subjects were studied before and 8.8 months after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGP) operation. The health-related quality of life (RAND...
متن کاملRe: "Sex-specific associations of magnetic resonance imaging-derived intra-abdominal and subcutaneous fat areas with conventional anthropometric indices: the Atherosclerosis in Communities Study".
Accurate measurement of central fat patterning is difficult to obtain by conventional anthropometry. Direct measurement of intra-abdominal fat area by magnetic resonance imaging, while accurate, is impractical for large-scale observational studies. This report examines the sex-specific associations of conventional anthropometric indices with intra-abdominal fat and subcutaneous fat areas measur...
