There is strong and consistent evidence that bariatric surgery (BS) is an effective strategy to improve glycemia in diabetic patients and often leads to remission of T2DM in patients with obesity. The majority of the published literature supporting T2DM remission after BS ha...

Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) are two syndromes with increasing clinical relevance, mainly due to the rising prevalence of metabolic syndrome. Despite sharing a common metabolic background, the association between NAFLD severity and HFpEF has not yet been well explored.Aim: To evaluate the association of NAFLD steatosis and fibrosis scores with cardiovascular function an...
