Impact of Bariatric Surgery on Cardiovascular Events

Metabolic bariatric surgery significantly reduces the risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), including ST-elevation and non ST-elevation MI. Patients with a history of bariatric surgery have lower odds of AMI admission, coronary revascularization procedures, and in-hospital mortality compared to those without bariatric surgery. These findings suggest a strong association between metabolic bariatric surgery and cardiovascular risk reduction, highlighting its potential long-term benefits.
