About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of bariatric surgery on cardiac function assessed by echocardiography in patients with hypertension.

Read the detailed description

Obesity is the most common chronic metabolic disease worldwide, causing the increasing burden of cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, and affecting cardiac structure and function in the long term. Nowadays, bariatric surgery is regarded as the most effective approach for weight loss, and the only approach for reducing obesity-related cardiovascular events. However, the effect of different bariatric surgeries such as laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on cardiac function in patients with hypertension is still unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the benefit of different bariatric surgeries on cardiac structure and function echocardiography in patients with hypertension.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • LSGProcedure or surgery

    Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) together with medical treatment aiming the control of cardiovascular risks including hypertension, diabetes mellitus or dyslipidemia.

  • RYGBProcedure or surgery

    Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) together with medical treatment aiming the control of cardiovascular risks including hypertension, diabetes mellitus or dyslipidemia.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Changes on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)

    Changes on LVEF in % assessed with the use of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE).

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Changes on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)

    Changes on LVEF in % assessed with the use of TTE.

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Changes on left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD)

    Changes on LVEDD in mm assessed with the use of TTE.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Changes on left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD)

    Changes on LVEDD in mm assessed with the use of TTE.

    Measured: 24 months

  4. Major adverse cardiac events

    including all-cause mortality, cardiac death, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation requiring shock delivery.

    Measured: 12 months

  5. Major adverse cardiac events

    including all-cause mortality, cardiac death, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation requiring shock delivery.

    Measured: 24 months

  6. Changes on number of antihypertensive drugs

    Changes on of the total number of antihypertensive medications while maintaining office systolic and diastolic blood pressure <140 mm Hg and 90 mm Hg, respectively.

    Measured: 12 months

  7. Changes on number of antihypertensive drugs

    Changes on of the total number of antihypertensive medications while maintaining office systolic and diastolic blood pressure <140 mm Hg and 90 mm Hg, respectively.

    Measured: 24 months

  8. Changes on blood pressure

    Changes on systolic and blood pressure assessed with the use of 24-hour ABPM.

    Measured: 12 months

  9. Changes on blood pressure

    Changes on systolic and blood pressure assessed with the use of 24-hour ABPM.

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bariatric Surgery and Hypertension, run by Beijing Friendship Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Rongchong Huang, M.D. (+86-13811039417, rchuang@ccmu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Feb 2025.
