Perioperative Outcomes of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Effects of Metabolic Syndrome and Patient’s Sex

Abstract: Background Perioperative outcome data related to metabolic syndrome in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients are lacking. Objective To determine the incidence of metabolic syndrome in CABG patients and whether its presence or the patient’s sex affects postoperative lengths of stay in the intensive care unit and hospital. Methods A retrospective observational study in CABG patients. Risk factors from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons’ Adult Cardiac Surgery Database were used … Show more

“…In our study, the prevalence of 42% of patients with the metabolic syndrome correlates with others studies where the metabolic syndrome and CABG were investigated (46, 47, 51%) 10, 29,30. However, in an overview of the metabolic syndrome in young South African Asian patients with myocardial infarction, the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome, depending on the definition, was as high as 69% 26…”

“…Although it has been shown to be a predictor of adverse events after cardiovascular interventions, and its association with early and late mortality and morbidity following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery has recently been reported,10 severalstudies failed to find such an association 11-13. We hypothesised that the MS could adversely affect the outcome in patients undergoing CABG surgery and designed a prospective study to determine the impact of the MS on postoperative morbidity and mortality rates after CABG.…”
