Coronary arterial disease is a risk factor for bariatric surgery and might be a predictor for later major adverse coronary events. Diagnosis of coronary arterial disease would thus be desirable for obese patients, however percutaneous angiography is an invasive procedure and associated with a certain morbidity in obese patients.
