What are the independent predictors of perioperative myocardial infarction in patients undergoing surgical myocardial revascularization?
What are the independent predictors of perioperative myocardial infarction in patients undergoing surgical myocardial revascularization?
Reoperation, left main coronary artery disease, female sex, unstable angina, greater number of grafts, and prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time are independent predictors of perioperative myocardial infarction during CABG.
These predictors may aid risk stratification during CABG; leaves open whether targeted interventions reduce perioperative MI.
