Zusammenfassung

Background: 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. The aim of the study was to examine systolic left ventricular function and the effect of diet-induced weight loss in patients with severe obesity by transthoracic two-speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) with LV strain imaging. Method: Twenty-one obese subjects underwent a 12-week low calorie (800 kcal/day) fasting phase of a formula diet (Optifast®, Nestlé Health Science, Frankfurt, Germany). Transthoracic two-dimensional speckle-tracking ec…
