Abstract

Hypertension is a common comorbid condition associated with obesity and is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease and the related morbidity and mortality. Improvement in hypertension is directly associated with weight loss. Bariatric surgery is correlated with durable weight loss as compared to life-style and medical treatment with associated improvement in hypertension. Bariatric surgery is a recommended treatment for patients with uncontrolled hypertension and obesity to prevent long-term cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
