| Popis: | Introduction: Morbid obesity is associated with elevated risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Bariatric surgery is the most effective weight loss method for morbidly obese patients. Aim: To examine the effect of surgical treatment of morbid obesity on functional capacity and risk factors for CVD. Material and Methods: In a group of 56 morbidly obese patients Body Mass Index (BMI), functional capacity and risk factors for CVD were compared before and after laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery. BMI was derived from the patients' weight and height. Functional capacity parameters (peak VO2 and VE/VCO2 slope) and systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure were obtained during ergospirometry testing. Data on risk factors was acquired from medical histories and laboratory analyses. Results: A statistically significant difference was found in peak VO2 (p |
