The proposed research studies will add novel information about the effects of drug acting on Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone system and substantial weight reduction by key hole surgery on heart muscle stiffening and scar tissue formation due to obesity and diabetes. The knowledge gained will be essential to gain important insights into the underlying process of heart failure due to over-nutrition, high blood pressure, diabetes and define strategies aimed at reducing future heart failure.
