Figure 1 MR Images Before and After Weight Loss
Magnetic resonance (MR) transverse T1-weighted turbo spin echo images at the level of L5 before (Pre) and after (Post) diet-induced weight loss, demonstrating the substantial difference in both visceral and subcutaneous fat mass.

Figure 2 Ventricular Structure
Ventricular structure of (A) dietary weight loss, (B) bariatric surgery, and (C) continued obesity. Open bars = pre-intervention; solid bars = post-intervention. *p < 0.05. LV = left ventricle; LVEDV = left ventricular end-diastolic volume; NS = not significant (p > 0.05); RV = right ventricle; RVEDV = right ventricular end-diastolic volume.

Figure 3 Beneficial Effect of Weight Loss
Pooled analysis for both dietary and surgical weight loss: (A) left ventricular diastolic function (red solid line = obese after weight loss; blue dashed line = obese before weight loss; black solid line = normal weight); and (B) aortic distensibility (white bars = normal weight; blue bars = obese before weight loss; red bars = obese after weight loss). NS = not significant.

Figure 4 Diastolic Dysfunction
Mean filling curves for (A) dietary weight loss, (B) bariatric surgery, and (C) continued obesity. Black solid lines indicate normal weight; blue solid lines indicate obese before weight loss; red dotted lines indicate obese after weight loss. *p < 0.05. NS indicates not significant (p > 0.05).

Figure 5 Aortic Elastic Function
(A) Dietary weight loss, (B) bariatric surgery, and (C) continued obesity. Open bars = pre-intervention; solid bars = post-intervention. *p < 0.05. NS indicates not significant (p > 0.05). AO = ascending aorta; DDA = distal descending aorta; PDA = proximal descending aorta.
