Clinical and angiographic predictors of patient-reported angina 1 year after coronary artery bypass graft surgery
Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes Apr 14, 2019
Hattler B, et al. - Researchers investigated clinical features and angiographic results associated with self-reported angina 1 year following coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) in this prospective observational cohort comparison study nested within a randomized controlled trial. From the ROOBY trial (Randomized On/Off Bypass), they included 1,258 patients with protocol-specified 1-year post-CABG coronary angiography and Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) assessments. They compared patients reporting no angina (62.3%) within 4 weeks prior to the 1-year post-CABG study visit on the SAQ angina frequency domain to those reporting angina (37.7%). The factors that were found to be related to self-reported angina 1 year after CABG were younger age, worse baseline SAQ angina frequency score, smoking, diabetes mellitus, and depression. A poorly revascularized left anterior descending territory was the only angiographic finding related to angina.
