What are the predictive factors for cardiac complications in patients waiting for elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery?
What are the predictive factors for cardiac complications in patients waiting for elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery?
Patients with severe LV dysfunction, advanced angina, heart failure, or high triglycerides should be prioritized for CABG to reduce waiting period morbidity and mortality.
During long delay for coronary artery bypass surgery, cardiac events are frequent and tend to occur early. Severe left ventricular dysfunction, advanced angina, heart failure functional classes and high triglyceride level must be considered when selection is necessary, in order to diminish morbidity and mortality during the waiting period.
