A study found that bariatric surgery is the most effective method for long-term blood pressure control among obese individuals. The study concluded that lifestyle interventions and pharmacotherapy are not as effective as bariatric surgery in controlling blood pressure in the long term for obese individuals. Researchers suggest that bariatric surgery should be considered as a treatment option for obese patients with hypertension. The findings emphasize the significance of weight loss interventions, particularly bariatric surgery, in managing high blood pressure among obese individuals. The study was done using data from a large healthcare registry and was published in the European Heart Journal.
