Summary

The aim of this study is to measure the volume of the epicardial adispose tissue (EAT) and other morphological and functional cardiovascular parameters in subjects with severe obesity, using an open magnetic resonance unit capable of holding up to 220 kg of weight. These measurements will be repeated a year after bariatric surgery to assess the effect of the weight loss on EAT. The possible difference among different types of bariatric surgery will be considered.
