Diabetes and Outcomes of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery in Patients With Severe Left Ventricular Dysfunction: Results from The CABG Patch Trial Database
نویسنده
چکیده
OBJECTIVES We examined the relationship between diabetes mellitus and outcomes after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery in patients with severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. BACKGROUND Although diabetes is associated with poor outcomes after CABG surgery among unselected patients, the relationship between diabetes and mortality after CABG surgery among patients with LV dysfunction is less certain. METHODS Using data from The CABG Patch Trial, a study of implantable cardiac defibrillator therapy, we analyzed 900 patients with ejection fraction ,0.36 who underwent CABG surgery from 1990 to 1996. RESULTS Diabetics comprised 38% of the patients, and 48% of diabetics were prescribed insulin. Diabetes was associated with hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, history of stroke, clinical heart failure and rales on physical exam. Diabetics were at higher risk for postoperative superficial sternal wound infection and renal failure. With an average follow-up time of 32 6 16 months, actuarial all-cause mortality 48 months after CABG surgery was 26% in diabetics and 24% in nondiabetics (p 5 0.66, log-rank test). Diabetes was not associated with long-term mortality in Cox multiple regression analyses. Actuarial re-hospitalization rates 48 months after CABG surgery were 85% in diabetics and 69% in nondiabetics (p 5 0.0001, log-rank test). Diabetics had a 44% higher risk of re-hospitalization for any cause (p 5 0.0001) and a 24% higher risk of re-admission for cardiac causes (p , 0.05). Unexpectedly, fewer arrhythmic events were found in diabetics. CONCLUSIONS Diabetes was not a predictor of mortality after CABG surgery among patients with LV dysfunction despite associated comorbidities. However, diabetes was associated with increased postoperative complications and re-hospitalization. (J Am Coll Cardiol 2000;36: 1166–72) © 2000 by the American College of Cardiology

Comparison of Treatment Outcomes in Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft and Medical Therapy in Patients with Triple-vessel Coronary Artery Disease and Severe Ventricular Dysfunction
Introduction: Heart failure is a major hazard for public health. Despite recent advance in medical therapy, there is not enough information on the outcome of off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) and medical therapy on the patients with severe ventricular dysfunction and triple-vessel (CAD). This study aimed to compare treatment outcomes and mortality rate in patients undergoing off-pump coro...
متن کاملOn-Pump Beating Coronary Artery Bypass in High Risk Coronary Patients
Background: There are some conflicting results with Conventional Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts (CCABG) with arrested heart in coronary high-risk patients. Moreover, performing off-pump CABG in these cases may be associated with serious complications. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the on-pump beating CABG (OPBCABG) in coronary high-risk patients in comparison with th...

Background:Cardiac rehabilitation program (CRP) is a useful method of modifying cardiovascular risk factors, improving life expectancy and quality of life in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD). The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of cardiac rehabilitation on the pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LV...
متن کاملPrediction of Changes in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction after Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery by Myocardial Perfusion Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography
Introduction: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is considered to be the single most important prognostic factor in patients with previous myocardial infarction. LVEF is not improved in all patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study aimed to assess the possibility of prediction of LVEF changes after CABG using myocardial perfusion gated signle photon emission compu...
