Does bariatric surgery improve cardiovascular risk factors and cardiac function in obese individuals?
Bariatric surgery enhances future cardiovascular health in obese individuals by reducing CV risk factors and improving cardiac structure and function.
This systematic review highlights the benefits of bariatric surgery in reducing risk factors for CV disease. There is also evidence for left ventricular hypertrophy regression and improved diastolic function. These observations provide further evidence that bariatric surgery enhances future CV health for obese individuals.
