Abstract
Introduction
Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is a chronic complication of diabetes. As obesity is a major risk factor for CAN, we hypothesized that metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) could improve CAN indices in Korean patients with obesity.
Materials and Methods
Patients who underwent bariatric surgery between February 2020 and June 2022 were prospectively recruited. CAN was conducted once before surgery and again after surgery, using the Ewing method and heart rate variability (HRV) analysis (standard deviation of the NN interval [SDNN], root mean square of successive RR interval difference [RMSSD], and spectral analysis).
Results
A total of 47 patients were included. The mean age was 39.8 ± 8.7 years, 15 (31.9%) were male, and 26 (55.3%) had diabetes. Resting HR before surgery was 81.0 ± 12.3 bpm, which decreased significantly to 68.0 ± 9.3 bpm after surgery (P < 0.001). Changes in HR and BP according to the Valsalva maneuver, postural changes, and handgrip were not significantly different before and after surgery. However, SDNN significantly increased from 25.2 [15.1, 33.5] to 38.0 [25.4, 45.0] ms (P < 0.001), and RMSSD also significantly increased from 17.0 [9.2, 31.8] to 28.2 [15.3, 45.6] ms (P = 0.001). Both low-frequency power (LF) and high-frequency power (HF) increased significantly, and the LF/HF ratio significantly decreased from 2.1 ± 1.6 to 1.3 ± 1.3 (P = 0.010). Loss of weight, fat mass, and lean body mass were independently associated with improving the HRV variables.
Conclusions
MBS improved HRV variables, and these changes were mainly associated with postoperative weight loss.

Journal of Diabetes Investigation is your core diabetes journal from Asia; the official journal of the Asian Association for the Study of Diabetes (AASD). The journal publishes original research, country reports, commentaries, reviews, mini-reviews, case reports, letters, as well as editorials and news. Embracing clinical and experimental research in diabetes and related areas, the Journal of Diabetes Investigation includes aspects of prevention, treatment, as well as molecular aspects and pathophysiology. Translational research focused on the exchange of ideas between clinicians and researchers is also welcome. Journal of Diabetes Investigation is indexed by Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE).
