The Effect of Race and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease on Long-Term Survival after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
نویسندگان
چکیده
The most quoted long-term outcome studies from the coronary artery bypass surgery literature were performed in the 1970s, and these trials--the Coronary Artery Surgery Study, the Veterans Administration Study, and the European Cooperative Study--added significantly to our knowledge of the efficacy of bypass surgery. However, important studies are still being performed and are refining our knowledge of long-term outcomes. This review covers early factors that affect long-term outcome, and recent information concerning particular subgroups of patients undergoing bypass surgery. In addition, new information is becoming available about the relative roles of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and coronary artery bypass grafting, and these studies are also discussed.

Effect of coronary artery bypass on QT dispersion
Introduction: QT dispersion (QT Max – QT min) reflects inhomogeneous ventricular depolarization that may provide a substrate for serious arrythmias and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease. Some studies have shown reduction in QT dispersion after successful angioplasty due to coronary reperfusion, but effect of coronary artery bypass grafting o...

Background & Objective: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a cardiovascular disorder associated with long-term constraints in the patients' life. Open heart surgery is an effective treatment for CAD, and the postoperative complications require extensive care, especially by the patient. Self-care education plays a key role in this regard, particularly based on Orem self-care model. The present stu...

BACKGROUND We investigated the long-term outcome of coronary artery bypass grafting both in terms of survival and quality of life. METHODS Ten-year postsurgery survival was collated on patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting from 1994 to 1996, and quality of life was assessed using EQ-5D and a quality-of-life thermometer. We analyzed data from 1,180 patients. Mean age was 61 years...
متن کاملLong-term survival of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery.
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with increased in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). Long-term survival is less well understood. The present study examined the effect of COPD on survival after CABG. METHODS AND RESULTS We conducted a prospective study of 33,137 consecutive isolated CABG patients between 1992 a...
