Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk modification in patients with optimal weight loss (OWL) versus suboptimal weight loss SWL following MBS.<br />Methods: This was a retrospective analysis. The 10-year risk CVD was estimated before and after one year of surgery using the "Framingham Score".<br />Results: 191 patients were included in our study. Mean baseline Framingham score was 7.2 ​± ​6.9%. According to the score, 54% of patients were classified as low risk (n ​= ​104), 23% as moderate (n ​= ​43), 20% moderately high (n ​= ​39) and 3% as high risk (n ​= ​5). One year after surgery, 91% of the patients showed reduction of their Framingham score. Mean CVD risk score decreased significantly to 4.1 ​± ​3.7% when compared to baseline (p-value is ​< ​0.001); 80% of patients classified as low risk (n ​= ​153), 13% as moderate (n ​= ​25), 7% moderately high (n ​= ​13) and 0% as high risk (n ​= ​0).<br />Conclusion: Weight loss after bariatric surgery reduces CVD risk scores and the magnitude of effect correlates with the degree of weight loss.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
