Identifies LCOS risks after CABG; supports stratification but leaves open whether modifying factors improves outcomes.
What are the independent risk factors for low cardiac output syndrome in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting?
Age > 60 years, on-pump CABG, emergency surgery, incomplete revascularization, and ejection fraction <50% are independent risk factors for developing low cardiac output syndrome after CABG.
