Stroke-related risk factors during pregnancy in women who underwent metabolic and bariatric surgery compared with women who have not undergone metabolic and bariatric surgery
Stroke during pregnancy is rare, occurring in 30 of 100,000 pregnancies and accounting for 7% of maternal deaths in the United States from 2016 to 2018. Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) has been shown to reduce symptoms of chronic conditions that are risk factors for stroke, including hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes in women. However, little is known about the impact of MBS on stroke risk during pregnancy.

Does bariatric surgery change the risk of acute ischemic stroke in patients with a history of transient ischemic attack? A nationwide analysis
CONCLUSIONS: After analyzing nationwide information, we conclude bariatric surgery helps decrease risk of AIS in patients with a history of TIA. However, this comparison is limited by the nature of the database; further studies are needed to better understand these results.PMID:36581552 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2022.11.013

Hospitalizations in OSA patients
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with cardiovascular comorbidities and other chronic diseases, accounting for long-term morbidity, with elevated symptomatic burden and hospitalizations. We aim to study the hospitalizations' causes in OSA patients and its relation to OSA severity and PAP therapy adhesion.This is a retrospective study including 281 hospitalizations corresponding to 200 OSA patients during 2019. Mean age 65 years, 67% were males, and 43,5% (n=87) had severe OSA; 85% patients under PAP; 60,4% (n=102) good adherent patients. Overlap with obesity hypoventilation syndrome (n=7) and COPD (n=48) was noti...

Comment on: Insurance-mandated weight management program completion before bariatric surgery provides no long-term clinical benefit
By 2030, 1 in 2 American adults is projected to have obesity and 1 in 4 clinically severe obesity. Obesity represents a serious public health issue because it is a major risk factor for many major, noncommunicable diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cancer, and independently predicts overall mortality. The burden of obesity on medical spending is also significant, with $1861 in excess annual medical costs per adult with obesity and $3097 per adult with severe obesity —accounting for $173 billion annually in the United States [1].

Precertification criteria for bariatric surgery should be based on evidence
By 2030, one in two American adults is projected to have obesity and one in four clinically severe obesity.

Effects of Exercise Mode on Improving Cardiovascular Function and Cardiorespiratory Fitness After Bariatric Surgery: A Narrative Review
Obesity affects 600 million people globally and increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer. Bariatric surgery is an increasingly popular therapeutic intervention for morbid obesity to induce rapid weight loss and reduce obesity-related comorbidities. However, some bariatric surgery patients, after what is considered a successful surgical procedure, continue to manifest obesity-related health issues, including weight gain, reduced physical function, persistent elevations in blood pressure, and reduced cardiorespiratory fitness. Cardiorespiratory fitness is a strong predictor of mor...

Bariatric Surgery Lowers the Risk of Major Cardiovascular Events
Conclusions: Bariatric surgery is associated with decreased risk of significant cardiovascular events compared to nonsurgical controls. In this exploratory analysis, gastric bypass was associated with a lower risk of all cardiovascular events than sleeve gastrectomy.

Effect of high-risk factors on postoperative major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events trends following bariatric surgery in the United States from 2012 to 2019
CONCLUSIONS: MACE following LSG and LRYGB is rare, occurring in 0.1% of patients. Persistently increasing high-risk conditions and demographics has had minimal effect on MACE over time for LSG and LRYGB but has had significant effect on MACE trend over time in SG and RYGB.PMID:36209030 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2022.08.014
