Gastric bypass reduces biochemical cardiac risk factors.
Surg Obes Relat Dis. 2007 Jan-Feb; (1): 8-13
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in the United States, with obesity as a leading preventable risk factor for CAD. Certain biochemical markers have demonstrated strong prediction for cardiovascular events. We hypothesized that in addition to weight reduction, gastric bypass will also induce a salutary effect on the biochemical cardiac risk factors.
