Bariatric surgery is an effective way for long-term
weight loss success. Recent studies have found that
weight loss is significantly associated with improved
metabolic parameters in addition to overall decrease
in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
Conversely, some studies have observed the
development of unexplained sinus bradycardia after
significant weight loss.
We conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the
electrical and functional cardiac changes on morbidly
obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery and
to demonstrate the incidence of arrhythmia.
