Obesity in cardiac surgery patients
We report on the application of RNA sequencing to study expression changes in cardiac surgery patients of different obesity categories. Overall design: Patients attending surgery were recruited as part of a clinical trial. Total RNA was obtained from myocardial tissue (specifically atrial biopsies), sequenced and analyzed. Comparison of gene expression was made among obese, normal-weight and overweight groups as well as comorbidity and other patient characteristics
