The aim: The purpose of the present research was to study the results of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery depending on the degree of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) reduction with the aim to identify additional echocardiographic predictors of the early postoperative period.
Materials and methods: Were fixed, the results of CABG in 97 patients operated on in the “Bikard” private clinic from March 2016 to December 2018 were the material of the
research. All patients underwent CABG surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegia, and in the preoperative period underwent echocardiographic examination
according to the standard technique on the Vivid 7 machine. Patients, in dependent of the LVEF, were divided into 3 groups: group 1 35 people (LVEF < 40%), group 2 32 people ( 40% < LVEF < 50%), group 3 30 people (LVEF > 50%).
Results: Our studies showed that the most important echocardiographic predictors of a complicated development of the disease in the early postoperative period, in addition
to LVEF of the heart, can be the size of the left ventricle and left atrial, the presence and severity of mitral regurgitation and diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle of the heart.
Conclusions: Comprehensive measurement of these echocardiographic parameters will allow more accurately predict the results of coronary artery bypass grafting in the
early postoperative period.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
