Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a major surgical intervention to relieve symptoms and promote survival for individuals with coronary heart disease (CHD). The benefits of the intervention are thought to be improved when underlying risk factors of CHD are ameliorated. However in current health care systems the long-term follow-up of patients following CABG is not centralized to allow for the determination of survival trends and their optimization. The survival of study participants who underwent CABG is compared with age and gender matched individuals from the general population. Differences in rates of survival are interpreted in terms of lifestyle choices and the impact of risk factors of CHD.
