Key result
Bariatric surgery reduces cardiac risk factors in obese patients, which in turn protects the heart from premature death.
Why the study?
Obese patients have an increased prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors improved by bariatric surgery, but whether bariatric surgery reduces long-term cardiovascular events remains unclear.

Does not support routine use; leaves open whether bariatric surgery confers causal cardiac protection.
Obese patients have an increased prevalence of risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), which are improved by bariatric surgery, but whether bariatric surgery reduces long-term cardiovascular events remains unclear. This study examines the impact of bariatric surgery on the reduction of cardiac risk factors, which, in turn, protects the heart from premature death.
