Challenges in the care and treatment of patients with extreme obesity - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39420906/

Obesity is a prevalent chronic disease. The management of extreme obesity - i.e., body mass index (BMI) ≥ 50 kg/m 2 or obesity class IV and V - is still...

Extreme obesity (BMI ≥ 50 kg/m²) requires effective management, including sleeve gastrectomy, very-low-calorie diets, or bariatric surgery. Nonstandard techniques and anti-obesity drugs may improve outcomes, but more research is needed.

The Future of Care in Obesity and Cardiovascular Disease: Emerging Strategies and Considerations

As the prevalence of obesity continues to rise globally, its impact on cardiovascular disease (CVD) has become a significant public health concern. The interplay between obesity and cardiovascular health necessitates a comprehensive approach that integrates lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy, and innovative care models.

Emerging research emphasizes the importance of addressing obesity not just as a standalone condition but as a critical risk factor for CVD. Multi-disciplinary care teams are essential in developing personalized treatment plans that encompass dietary interventions, physical activity, and psychological support. Furthermore, advancements in technology, such as telehealth and digital monitoring tools, are revolutionizing how healthcare providers engage with patients, enabling more frequent and meaningful interactions.

A pivotal area of focus is the development of evidence-based guidelines that outline best practices for managing patients with obesity and CVD. Collaborative efforts between primary care providers, cardiologists, and endocrinologists will be crucial in ensuring that patients receive comprehensive care that addresses all aspects of their health.

As we look to the future, what innovative strategies are you implementing to improve outcomes for patients with obesity and cardiovascular disease? How do you foresee the integration of technology influencing patient management in this space?
