| Abstract: | Forty obese diabetic patients (mean age 48 +/- 9 years) and 93 obese nondiabetic patients (mean age 43 +/- 9 years) underwent Doppler and tissue Doppler echocardiographic evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function before gastric bypass surgery. Moderate or severe left ventricular diastolic dysfunction was present in 24 of 40 obese diabetics (60%) and in 21 of 93 obese nondiabetics (23%) (p <0.001). |
