Clinical Trial: Changes in Intramyocardial Fat Assessed by Cardiac CT Before and After Bariatric Surgery and Their Relationship With Cardiac Diastolic Function

U.S., May 5 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07565610) titled 'Changes in Intramyocardial Fat Assessed by Cardiac CT Before and After Bariatric Surgery and Their Relationship With Cardiac Diastolic Function' on April 15.

Brief Summary: The goal of this observational study is to learn if weight loss surgery can lower fat inside the heart muscle and improve how the heart relaxes in adults with obesity.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does fat inside the heart muscle decrease after weight loss surgery? Does heart relaxation (diastolic function) improve after surgery? Are changes in heart fat linked to changes in weight, body fat, and blood markers?
