Abstract
The network meta-analysis compares the cardiovascular effects of bariatric surgery and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists in individuals with obesity.
- Obesity is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure and myocardial infarction.
- Bariatric surgery and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists are both potential interventions for individuals with obesity.
- This analysis integrates both direct and indirect evidence to evaluate the cardiovascular efficacy of these treatments.
- Findings may inform healthcare decisions regarding the management of obesity-related cardiovascular risks.
