Does ß-cell pancreatic dysfunction play a role in hyperglycemic peaks observed after gastric bypass surgery of obese patients?
We conclude that RYGB reveals a series of dysfunctions leading to hyperglycemia in a subset of patients. In PEAK patients, an insufficient adaptation of ß-cell function to glycemia, an increased insulin clearance, and a decreased insulin sensitivity cumulated to contribute to hyperglycemic peaks.
Intrathoracic FF-ECG allows reliable and reproducible detection of experimentally induced ischemia originating from all major coronary arteries and therefore could be an interesting tool for clinicians in monitoring high risk patients.
