Results indicated that in the case of the general population, the use of such a method of measurement of cTnT was significantly associated with structural heart disease and mortality from cardiovascular events.

Abstract

The article discusses the long term outcome of bariatric surgery. It reports that sustained weight loss, lower incidences of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and cancer are some of the benefits from bariatric surgery. The study was conducted in obese controlled Swedish subjects. During a follow up of 20 years following the bariatric procedure, the surgery patients used a 54 mean cumulative hospital days against the 40 days of the control group at a confidence interval (C.I.) of 95 percent. However, the study highlights that the drug costs from the seventh year were lower for patients who underwent the surgery than control patients.
