Is gastric volume reduction essential for the remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus after bariatric surgery in nonobese rats?
For nonobese T2D patients, adding gastric volume reduction to intestine bypass gave better efficacy in remission of T2D by increasing metabolic rate and adipolysis, especially during the resting period.
In contrast to standard transmitral Doppler filling indices, Doppler tissue early diastolic velocities are not significantly affected by physiological manoeuvres that alter preload. Thus Doppler tissue velocities during early left ventricular diastole may provide a better index of diastolic function in cardiac patients by providing a preload independent assessment of left ventricular filling.
