Early and mid-term outcomes of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting in ischemic cardiomyopathy
Journal of the American Heart Association May 17, 2019
Jose R, et al. - Researchers focused on the outcomes of Indian patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) from 2009 to 2017 (n=162). These subjects had severe left ventricular dysfunction (ejection fraction ≤35%) and had a mean age of 58.67±9.70 years. The operative mortality was estimated to be 11.62%. The observed 30 day/in-house composite outcome of stroke and perioperative myocardial infarction were 5.8%. For 1 year and for 5-year, the survival of 86.6% and 79.9%, respectively, were reported. Late mortality was strongly predicted by lack of improvement of left ventricular function. High early composite outcomes were reported in relation to CABG in ischemic cardiomyopathy. However, good 5-year survival rates were documented.
