Abstract

Cardiovascular pathology is the leading cause of mortality in the world as well as obesity and associated metabolic disorders are one of the main risk factors for the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases. For most obese patients changing lifestyle for a long period of time seems difficult especially in case of comorbidity. Metabolic surgery is currently recognized as an effective way to treat morbid obesity, reducing the incidence and risk of serious consequences of obesity-related diseases. The aim of this article was to evaluate the effect of metabolic surgery on cardiovascular events and other associated conditions in obese patients. The article provides up-to-date information on modern surgical interventions (gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, mini-gastric bypass and gastric banding). We represent data on the effectiveness of metabolic surgery in obesity, hypertension and dyslipidemia. The effect of bariatric surgery on the remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus is also discussed.
