Key result
Coronary artery bypass grafting significantly improved quality of life, increased 6-minute walk distance from 260 m to 550 m, and decreased brain natriuretic peptide levels at 6 months in patients with stable coronary artery disease and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.

CABG significantly improves quality of life, exercise tolerance, and diastolic function parameters in patients with stable CAD and preserved LVEF, primarily within the first 6 months post-surgery.

Borkhalenko et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Stable coronary artery disease with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (n=71). Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) vs. Baseline (pre-operative) was evaluated on Quality of life assessed by Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) score at 6 months (p=<0.001). Coronary artery bypass grafting significantly improved quality of life, increased 6-minute walk distance from 260 m to 550 m, and decreased brain natriuretic peptide levels at 6 months in patients with stable coronary artery disease and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.
