Why the study?
Does coronary artery bypass grafting affect 10-year all-cause mortality compared to an age- and sex-matched control population in patients without prior CABG or simultaneous valve surgery?
Does coronary artery bypass grafting affect 10-year all-cause mortality compared to an age- and sex-matched control population in patients without prior CABG or simultaneous valve surgery?
In patients undergoing CABG, 10-year late mortality was significantly higher than in an age- and sex-matched control population, with 13 independent predictors of death identified.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Late mortality exceeds matched controls after CABG; leaves open whether intensified secondary prevention narrows this gap.
Herlitz et al. (2004) studied this question.
