Obesity is associated with cardiac hypertrophy and increased aortic stiffness, which are independent predictors of cardiovascular risk. In the setting of obesity, bariatric surgical weight loss has been shown to reduce mortality. We present a case showing that, in a severely obese individual without comorbidities, these cardiovascular responses to excess weight are reversible during weight loss over a period of 1 year.
肥胖与心脏肥大和主动脉僵硬度增加有关,而这两者都是心血管风险的独立预测因素。在肥胖的情况下,减肥手术已被证明可降低死亡率。我们报告了一例病例,该病例显示,在一名无合并症的严重肥胖个体中,在一年的体重减轻期间,这些对超重的心血管反应是可逆的。
