Abstract :
Longer duration of morbid obesity is associated with higher LV mass, poorer LV systolic function, and greater impairment of LV diastolic filling. Weight loss-induced decreases in LV mass and improvements in LV systolic function and diastolic filling are due in part to favorable alterations in LV loading conditions.
