Abstract Background N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentrations are lower in patients with obesity. The interaction between body mass index (BMI) and NT-proBNP with respect to heart failure (HF) risk remains incompletely defined. pg/mL lower NT-proBNP per 1 kg/m 2 higher BMI; p<0.001). vs. 0.6%, 1.3%

The associations between obesity and hypertension are widely known, but a new JACC study reveals that weight-reducing gastric bypass surgery has a significant and lasting impact on patients’ need for antihypertensives. The GATEWAY trial assigned 100 participants (76% women, 43.8 of them achieved BPs below 130/80 mm Hg (vs.
