How do psychosocial coping strategies affect cardiac capacity and working status before and after aortocoronary bypass grafting in patients with chronic stable angina?
How do psychosocial coping strategies affect cardiac capacity and working status before and after aortocoronary bypass grafting in patients with chronic stable angina?
Following CABG, physiological cardiac capacity improves across all psychosocial coping styles, but postoperative working status and physiological improvement remain independent of psychosocial status.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Cardiac function improves post-CABG across coping styles independent of psychosocial status; leaves open whether targeted interventions affect working capacity.
