A new systematic review and network meta-analysis explores the comparative effectiveness of different bariatric surgeries on improving cardiac structure and function in adults with obesity.
Key findings: Gastric bypass shows the greatest cardiac benefits:
The review analysed 19 studies involving over 2,000 adults with obesity to assess the impact of various bariatric surgeries on key cardiac indicators, including left ventricular mass (LVM), left ventricular mass index (LVMI). The results showed that gastric bypass surgery led to the most significant reductions in LVM and LVMI compared to other surgical procedures and non-surgical interventions.
