May warrant long-term BP surveillance after bariatric surgery given relapse risk; leaves open predictors of durable remission in prospective studies.
Cohort (n=197)
What are the rates and predictors of hypertension remission and relapse after bariatric surgery in severely obese patients?
Bariatric surgery induces hypertension remission in over two-thirds of severely obese patients at 1 year, though 1 in 5 relapse by 3 years, with smaller initial weight loss predicting recurrence.
Benaiges et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in Severe obesity with hypertension (n=197). Bariatric surgery (LRYGB or LSG) was evaluated on Hypertension remission at 1 year and relapse at 3 years. Following bariatric surgery, 68.1% of hypertensive patients achieved remission at 1 year, but 21.9% of these patients experienced hypertension relapse at 3 years.
