Post-bypass PEP/LVET changes may reflect transient adrenergic surge rather than impairment; leaves open long-term recovery and outcome links.
Does saphenous vein bypass surgery alter left ventricular performance and adrenergic activity in patients with severe angina pectoris?
Saphenous vein bypass surgery induces early postoperative changes in left ventricular systolic time intervals, largely driven by excessive adrenergic activity rather than intrinsic myocardial changes.
Boudoulas et al. (1976) studied this question.
