Study Summary
Obesity adversely affects myocardial (muscular heart tissue) metabolism, efficiency, and diastolic function. The objective of this study was to determine if weight loss could improve obesity-related myocardial metabolism and efficiency and if these improvements were directly related to improved diastolic function.
Primary Outcome
The evening before an imaging study, all participants were given a meal containing 12 kcal/kg adjusted body weight (=ideal body weight + ((actual body weight-ideal body weight) x 0.25)). Participants fasted until their imaging studies were completed. Myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2) was measured using positron emission tomography (PET) following injection of 1-\^11C-acetate. Total MVO2 was calculated by multiplying the MVO2 measure by left ventricular weight.
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Diet
- PROCEDURE Gastric bypass surgery
