Heart risks during obesity surgery: new study reveals position matters
NCT ID NCT06835166
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 80 severely obese adults having laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (weight-loss surgery). Researchers measured heart electrical activity and blood pressure as patients were moved into different positions during the operation. The goal was to understand how position changes affect heart function and the risk of dangerous heart rhythms. The study did not test a new treatment but aimed to improve safety during surgery.
