Journal of American Coll of Cardiology Studies show WLS can Reverse Heart Disease

The Journal of the American College of Cardiology published a 2 year study that documents the significant improvement 400 gastric bypass patients saw in their cardiac health. This study used EKGs which showed 'remodeling' of the heart where the patients heart mass literally became smaller. They believe that this happens because the patient's hearts were not having to work as hard as they had before the weight loss which allowed their hearts to functions normally, instead of under extreme stress. While there has long been strong evidence citing the benefits of gastric bypass surgery on diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol and sleep apnea, this study indicates, that it also improves the health and function heart muscle itself.
