Effects of bariatric surgery on cardiovascular-related acute care use in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Prior studies have suggested causal relationships between obesity and acute cardiovascular events. It has been also known that the risk of acute cardiovascular events is reduced by bariatric surgery.
