Does the symptom experience differ between younger and older patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery?
Symptom burden declines over 6 weeks following CABS, but age-related differences exist in symptom presentation, which can inform postoperative care planning.
Miller et al. (2004) conducted an observational in Coronary artery bypass surgery (n=102). Younger age (< 65 years) vs. Older age (≥ 65 years) was evaluated on Preoperative and postoperative symptoms. Younger and older patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery exhibited several age-related differences in symptom reports prior to and at 1 and 6 weeks after the procedure.
