Huang CC, et al. - Morbidly obese patients with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) were examined for the reduction of Framingham risk score (a score used to calculate the coronary heart disease risk), 6 and 12 months postoperatively. Researchers performed a retrospective study of 870 morbidly obese patients who received LSG in Taipei Medical University Hospital from June 2007 to June 2014 and identified LSG as efficient not only in the reduction of obesity and its related comorbidities but also in decreasing the long-term coronary event risk. They strongly recommend early intervention for the high-risk group.
