Obesity has become a global epidemic, posing a substantial burden on healthcare systems and contributing to the prevalence of cardiovascular disease, which remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Bariatric surgery has emerged as a highly effective intervention for obesity, yielding significant weight loss and metabolic improvements. Recent evidence indicates that the metabolic benefits of bariatric surgery can help mitigate the risks associated with cardiovascular disease, leading to improved cardiac outcomes and reshaping cardiovascular health in individuals with obesity. A comprehensive understanding of the cardiac outcomes following bariatric surgery is essential for making informed decisions and optimizing patient care. This activity aims to address the concerns related to bariatric surgery, highlight the clinical significance of different cardiac outcomes, and explore the pivotal role of interprofessional teams in providing care to patients undergoing bariatric surgery.
