    The association of obesity with atrial fibrillation (AF) and with ventricular arrhythmias is well documented. The aim of this study was to investigate whether weight reduction by a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy has any effect on P wave dispersion (PWD), a predictor of AF, and corrected QT interval dispersion (CQTD), a marker of ventricular arrhythmias, in obese individuals. In a prospective study, a total of 114 patients (79 females, 35 males) who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy were examined. The patients were followed 1 year. PWD and CQTD values before and 3rd, 6th, and 12th months after the surgery were calculated and compared. There was a statistically significant decline in body mass index (BMI), PWD, and CQTD values among baseline, 3rd, 6th, and 12th months (p < 0.001 for all comparisons). Correlation analysis showed a statistically significant correlation between Delta PWD and Delta BMI (r = 0.719, p < 0.001), Delta PWD and Delta left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) (r = 0.291, p = 0.002), Delta PWD and Delta left atrial diameter (LAD) (r = 0.65, p < 0.001), Delta CQTD and Delta BMI (r = 0.266, p = 0.004), Delta CQTD and Delta LVEDD (r = 0.35, p < 0.001), Delta CQTD and Delta LAD (r = 0.289, p = 0.002). In multiple linear regression analysis, there was a statistically significant relationship between Delta PWD and Delta BMI (beta = 0.713, p < 0.001), Delta PWD and Delta LVEDD (beta = 0.174, p = 0.016), Delta PWD and Delta LAD (beta = 0.619, p < 0.001), Delta CQTD and Delta BMI (beta = 0.247, p = 0.011), Delta CQTD and Delta LVEDD (beta = 0.304, p < 0.001), Delta CQTD and Delta LAD (beta = 0.235, p = 0.009). PWD and CQTD values of patients were shown to be attenuated after bariatric surgery. These results indirectly offer that there may be a reduction in risk of AF, ventricular arrhythmia, and sudden cardiac death after obesity surgery.

    Assessment of Carotid Artery Distensibility and Elasticity After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Prospective Study
    (2020) Gunesli, Aylin; Yilmaz, Mustafa; Altin, Cihan; Gezmis, Esin; Yabanoglu, Hakan; Erol, Varlik; 0000-0002-2557-9579; 0000-0002-8337-6905; 0000-0002-1161-3369; 0000-0002-1001-6028; 0000-0003-0268-8999; 32813160; S-6973-2016; AAK-3065-2021; AAJ-7865-2021; AAE-8301-2021; AAK-2011-2021
    Purpose Although it is well known that obesity increases the risk of atherosclerosis in carotid arteries, it is not clear whether this risk changes after obesity surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate whether weight reduction with a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has any effect on distensibility and elasticity which show subclinical atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries of obese individuals. Materials and Methods This prospective study included 130 patients (body mass index (BMI) 48.21 +/- 6.97 kg/m(2)) who underwent LSG. The patients were followed up for 1 year. Comparisons were made of the distensibiliy and elasticity values calculated preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, postoperatively. Results There was a statistically significant increase in distensibility and elasticity values from baseline to 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively (p < 0.001 for both comparisons). The multiple linear regression analysis was used to find the variables affecting both distensibility and elasticity. According to the results, the presence of BMI decreases distensibility percentage change level by 0.38 units (beta= - 0.38, 95% CI - 0.51;- 0.25,p < 0.001). The presence of fasting plasma glucose decreases elasticity percentage change level by 0.20 units. (beta= - 0.20, 95% CI - 0.39; - 0.01,p = 0.037). Conclusion Carotid artery distensibility and elasticity values increase after LSG, and this change could be caused by the change in metabolic parameters and heart geometry. These results may indirectly suggest that subclinical atherosclerosis in carotid arteries has decreased after obesity surgery.
