Does overweight or obesity reduce short- and long-term mortality in patients postcoronary revascularization?
Does overweight or obesity reduce short- and long-term mortality in patients postcoronary revascularization?
This meta-analysis supports the existence of an 'obesity paradox' where overweight and obese patients have similar or lower mortality following coronary revascularization compared to non-obese patients.

Challenges traditional obesity risk assumptions post-revascularization; reinforces obesity paradox with meta-analytic support.
Oreopoulos et al. (2008) studied this question.
