Abstract EN
Obesity is associated with an increased risk of heart failure.
Little is known about the impact of dietary changes on the cardiac sequelae in obese patients.
Twenty-one obese subjects underwent a 12-week low calorie fasting phase of a formula diet.
Transthoracic two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography was performed to obtain systolic left ventricular strain before and after weight loss.
Body mass index decreased significantly from 38.6±6.2 to 31.5±5.3 kg/m2, and the total percentage fat loss was 19%.
Weight reduction was associated with a reduction in blood pressure and heart rate.
Left ventricular longitudinal global peak systolic strain was in the lower normal range (−18.7±3.2%) before weight loss and was unchanged (−18.8±2.4%) after 12 weeks on diet with substantial weight loss.
Also, no significant change in global radial strain after weight loss was noted (41.1±22.0 versus 43.9±23.3, p=0.09).
Left atrial and ventricular dimensions were in normal range before fasting and remained unchanged after weight loss.
In our study obesity was associated with normal systolic left ventricular function.
A 12-week low calorie diet with successful weight loss can reduce blood pressure and heart rate.
Systolic left ventricular function and morphology were not affected by rapid weight reduction.
