Elective CABG surgery resulted in complete angina relief for 69% to 85% of patients, a >80% reduction in disability days, and a 75% return-to-work rate among employed persons at six months.

Supports good recovery after elective CABG in patients <70; leaves open causal benefits versus medical therapy alone.
C. David Jenkins (1983) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery disease requiring elective CABG (n=318). Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery vs. Baseline (pre-surgery) was evaluated on Biomedical, psychoneurological, physical, occupational, social, and emotional variables. Elective CABG surgery resulted in complete angina relief for 69% to 85% of patients, a >80% reduction in disability days, and a 75% return-to-work rate among employed persons at six months.
