Gastric bypass surgery is associated with reduced subclinical myocardial injury and greater activation of the cardiac natriuretic peptide system than lifestyle intervention.

CONCLUSION: Compared to ILI, GBS was associated with reduced subclinical myocardial injury and systemic inflammation, and enhancement of the cardiac natriuretic peptide system. The biomarker changes were predominantly mediated by weight loss. PMID: 32986994 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
