Popis: Subclinical arterial damage connected with endothelial dysfunction is a common denominator of cardiovascular complications in a variety of metabolic diseases, including obesity. The aims of the study was to assess functional vascular changes measured by flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) and nitroglycerin-mediated dilation (NMD) of brachial artery, and to measure vascular structural alterations estimated by carotid intima-media complex thickness (IMT) in short- (10 days) and medium-term (6 months) time after bariatric surgery in patients with extreme obesity. Anthropometric, blood pressure (BP), FMD, NMD, IMT measurements, and laboratory assessment were performed on patients who met the eligibility criteria for bariatric surgery (age 18 - 60 years old, BMI ≥ 40.0 kg/m
