Determinants of an impaired quality of life five years after coronary artery bypass surgery

Abstract

Objective-To identify determinants of an inferior quality of life (QoL) five years after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Setting-University hospital.

Predictors of quality of life among women with coronary heart disease

“…Multiple studies have demonstrated that HRQOL improves, on average, after CABG [6,41,44,[46][47][48][49]. Specifically, physical function and mental health domains have been documented to improve post-CABG [41].…”

Predictors of Quality of Life Improvement after 2 Years of Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

“…Other studies, however, show that diabetes is a predictor of QOL worsening after CABG. 11,20) Although the influence of diabetes to the appearance of neuropathy can be the cause of minor sensibility for each pain, even for angina although in this case is more important diabetes impact on the progression of coronary artery disease and the re-emergence of anginal pain. In addition, in diabetics with coronary disease, in comparison to non-diabetics, depression after serious cardiovascular events is more frequent.…”

Deutsche Leitlinie zur Rehabilitation von Patienten mit Herz-Kreislauferkrankungen (DLL-KardReha)

“…Prädiktoren für eine erhöhte Mortalität nach Herzoperationen sind PAVK, zerebrovaskuläre Insuffizienz, Kreatinin-Erhöhung, Herzinsuffizienz, chronisch obstruktive Lungenerkrankung, Alter > 65 Jahre und die Notwendigkeit eines kombinierten Eingriffs. Vorbestehender Diabetes oder Notfalleingriffe sind nur Prädiktoren für eine erhöhte Morbidität [399][400][401][402][403].…”
