About

Dr. J. Eduardo Rame is a leading cardiologist and researcher whose work bridges the critical intersection of bariatric surgery and cardiovascular outcomes. His key research areas include perioperative risk stratification in patients with cardiac histories undergoing metabolic procedures, with a particular focus on sudden cardiac death prevention. Dr. Rame’s most cited study, a 2019 MBSAQIP analysis of over 200,000 patients, demonstrated that laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy carries significantly lower perioperative mortality—including sudden cardiac death—compared to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in patients with prior cardiac disease. This landmark finding has directly influenced clinical guidelines for surgical selection in high-risk populations, earning 6 citations and widespread recognition among bariatric and cardiac specialists. His work provides actionable evidence for surgeons and cardiologists, emphasizing the importance of tailored procedural choices to minimize fatal complications. Dr. Rame’s contributions continue to shape safer surgical practices for patients with complex cardiac histories, underscoring his impact on both cardiology and metabolic surgery.
