Aims: To assess the long-term risk of developing type 2 diabetes in patients with obesity who have undergone gastric bypass surgery compared to non-operated patients with obesity and the general population.
Methods: This study included 71,495 patients aged 20-65 years with a principal diagnosis of obesity in the Swedish Patient Register in 2001-2013. Of these, 23,099 had undergone gastric bypass and 32,435 had not.
Aim: We aim to assess the risk of heart failure in patients with obesity with and without gastric bypass surgery compared with population controls.
Methods And Results: This cohort study included all patients aged 20-65 years with a first ever registered principal diagnosis of obesity in the Swedish Patient Register in 2001-2013. These patients were matched by age, sex, and region with two population controls from the general Swedish population without obesity diagnosis.
Background: Obesity along with clustering of cardiovascular risk factors is a promoter for coronary artery disease. On the other hand, a high body mass index (BMI) appears to exert a protective effect with respect to outcomes after a coronary artery event, termed the obesity paradox.
Methods: The Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry collects information on all patients who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in Sweden along with demographic and procedure-related data.
Aims: People with obesity are at risk for developing heart failure (HF), but little is known about the mechanistic pathways that link obesity with cardiac dysfunction.
Methods And Results: We included 2030 participants from the Swedish Obese Subjects study who received conventional obesity treatment. First-time detection of HF was obtained by cross-checking the study population with the Swedish National Patient Register and the Swedish Cause of Death Register.
Aims: Obesity is associated with increased risk for heart failure. We analysed data from the Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) study, a prospective matched cohort study, to investigate whether bariatric surgery reduces this risk.
Methods And Results: From the total SOS population (n = 4047), we identified 4033 obese individuals with no history of heart failure at baseline, of whom 2003 underwent bariatric surgery (surgery group) and 2030 received usual care (control group).
Background: Obesity is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation, which in turn is associated with stroke, heart failure, and increased all-cause mortality.
Objectives: The authors investigated whether weight loss through bariatric surgery may reduce the risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation.
Methods: SOS (Swedish Obese Subjects) is a prospective matched cohort study conducted at 25 surgical departments and 480 primary healthcare centers in Sweden.
