Abstract

Obesity remains a worldwide concern due to the plethora of adverse health effects affecting numerous organ systems and organ dysfunction. It is associated with substantial comorbidities, mortality, and morbidity. While conventional approaches to weight loss stress heavily on food and pharmacological choices, recent studies on the positive effects of bariatric surgery have significantly altered the management of obesity, with encouraging outcomes. Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disorders, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension; however, the effects of bariatric surgery in mitigating this risk are not fully understood. In this literature review, we intend to describe the current data on the effects of bariatric surgery on cardiovascular outcomes in obese individuals.
