Key result
Six months after CABG, older patient age significantly correlated with greater improvements in quality of life, specifically in physical mobility (r=0.18), social isolation (r=0.17), and energy (r=0.21).

Coronary artery bypass grafting significantly improves quality of life at 6 months across age groups, with the most pronounced improvements observed in older patients.
Perić et al. (2015) conducted an observational in Obstructive coronary artery disease (n=243). Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) vs. Preoperative baseline was evaluated on Correlation between patient age and improvement in quality of life (energy section) 6 months after CABG (r = 0.21, p=0.002). Six months after CABG, older patient age significantly correlated with greater improvements in quality of life, specifically in physical mobility (r=0.18), social isolation (r=0.17), and energy (r=0.21).
