Popis: Objective: Obesity is associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) mortality and morbidity. Bariatric surgery (BS) is currently an established therapeutic approach for severely obese patients. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) provide important prognostic information beyond traditional CV risk factors. This study aimed to examine the effect of bariatric surgery-induced weight loss on CIMT and brachial artery FMD in morbidly obese patients. Methods: A total of 23 morbidly obese patients (40.4+-5.6 years, 13 females) were examined before and after BS for 1 year with 3-month periods. CIMT, FMD, body composition, and metabolic parameters were determined. Results: All the patients exhibited significant weight loss following BS (p
