Summary:Objectives:To analyze the clinical and echocardiographic changes in individuals with morbid obesity who underwent bariatric surgery.Methods:In total, 59 obese patients with body mass index >35 kg/m2 were prospectively enrolled. We assessed baseline pre-operative and a 6-month post-operative lipid profile, hemoglobin A1c, echocardiography, lifetime, and a 10-year risks of atherosclerotic disease for all patients.Results:The mean patients’ age was 37±12 years, with 40 (67.8%) women. We found that the pre-operative total cholesterol (4.2±1.1 vs. 4.4±1.1, p=0.014) and triglyceride levels (1.4±0.7 vs. 1.8±0.8, p
