Abstract

Objective: To determine the effects of gastric bypass on myocardial lipid deposition and function and the plasma lipidome in women with obesity and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Methods: A primary cohort ( N = 12) with HFpEF and obesity underwent echocardiography and magnetic resonance spectroscopy both before and 3 months and 6 months after bariatric surgery. Plasma lipidomic analysis was performed before surgery and 3 months after surgery in the primary cohort and were confirmed in a validation cohort ( N = 22). Results: After surgery‐induced weight loss, Minnesota Living with Heart Failure questionnaire scores, cardiac mass, and liver fat decreased ( P < 0.02, P < 0.001, and P = 0.007, respectively); echo‐derived e′ increased ( P = 0.03), but cardiac fat was unchanged. Although weight loss was associated with decreases in many plasma ceramide and sphingolipid species, plasma lipid and cardiac function changes did not correlate. Conclusions: Surgery‐induced weight loss in women with HFpEF and obesity was associated with improved symptoms, reverse cardiac remodeling, and improved relaxation. Although weight loss was associated with plasma sphingolipidome changes, cardiac function improvement was not associated with lipidomic or myocardial triglyceride changes. The results of this study suggest that gastric bypass ameliorates obesity‐related HFpEF and that cardiac fat deposition and lipidomic changes may not be critical to its pathogenesis.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Weight loss improves symptoms of HFpEF.

    “Conversely, weight loss improves symptoms of HFpEF (322).”

    From 10. Cardiovascular Disease and Risk Management: Standards of Care in Diabetes—2025 (2025) · cites this paper as [322]

    The Conclusion reports improved heart-failure symptoms after gastric bypass–induced weight loss in women with obesity-related HFpEF. The citing sentence omits those population and intervention limits, presenting the finding as applying to weight loss and HFpEF generally. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
