New Onset Cardiac Arrhythmias after Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery.
Conclusions: Eight out of every 1000 patients with a pacemaker installed in the study period had a history of MBS. The most common arrhythmia was bradycardia and the most common reason for pacemaker placement was sick sinus syndrome. These results do not indicate causality but may demonstrate an association between MBS and arrhythmias. Bariatric patients undergo pacemaker placement at a younger age. The relationship between bariatric surgery and cardiac arrhythmias warrants further study.
