Mayo Clinic researchers say bariatric surgery may reduce risk of heart disease

which performs a large volume of bariatric surgeries and has a very low peri-operative mortality rate.

Previous studies have assessed the effect of bariatric surgery on heart disease risk factors, but this is the first community-based study with a control group, a long-term follow-up for this patient population, and includes only Roux-en-Y surgery. This is also the first study estimating the risk reduction for death or heart complications.

Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, M.D., a cardiologist at Mayo Clinic and senior author of this project, believes this study has major public health implications because it approaches two epidemics: obesity and heart disease. "This study proves that major weight loss is followed by an impressive reduction in risk factors for heart disease and a significant reduction in the use of medications for diabetes, cholesterol and blood pressure," he says.

Co-authors of the paper are Abel Romero-Corral, M.D.; Maria L. Collazo-Clavell, M.D.; Michael G. Sarr, M.D.; Virend Somers, M.D., Ph.D., all of Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn.; and Lee Brekke, Ph.D., of Brekke Associates, Minneapolis.
