“…Endarterectomy was done in 20 per cent of the patients in addition to bypass grafting to achieve maximal revascularisation; as we have found that this does not adversely affect the clinical result, we now do this wherever necessary . Bypass grafting can be safely combined with aneurysmectomy in the treatment of post-infarction ventricular aneurysms (Donaldson et a!., 1976). All but 1 of the 18 patients in this series who underwent the combined procedure had excellent symptomatic relief.…”

SUMMARY Three hundred and forty-three patients who had aortocoronary bypass graft operations for disabling angina were followed up for from 6 months to 5 years (average 2 years). 80 The early excellent clinical results achieved in many centres by aortocoronary bypass grafting has encouraged cardiologists to recommend this operation for symptomatic relief of angina. The continued use of the procedure will depend to a large extent on the late results. In this report we examine our experience with 343 patients followed up for from 6 months to 5 years after operation. Preoperative assessmentPatients presenting with angina pectoris from February 1971 to February 1976 were considered for surgical treatment and admitted to hospital for evaluation. The preoperative assessment and operative procedure have been described previously (Balcon et al., 1974). Because of chest pain, 893 patients were investigated angiographically. This excludes those that had associated valvar disease or non-coronary myocardiopathies. There were 343 patients who were referred for an aortocoronary 'Present address:

“…There are a small number of cases with antemortem diagnosis in the literature (4), but their true incidence is probably unknown. Gated blood pool scans can be useful for detecting patients with left ventricular aneurysm (11,15); symptomatic patients with localized disorders of contraction should then proceed to cardiac catheterization if surgery is indicated (2). As the number of cardiac cycles recorded with this equilibrium technique can be controlled by the operator, this non-invasive method allows precise anatomical delineation and functional assessment of left ventricular function (3,9).…”

“…Such patients are candidates for corrective surgery provided: 1) coronary cineangiography reveals adequate circulation or one that can be treated by a saphenous‐vein transplant, and 2) the left ventricle is adequate in size and contractility. A low operative mortality and good clinical results have been reported in 15 patients of the 60–71 age group (16).…”

The prognostic significance of risk factors for ischemic and hypertensive heart disease in the aged differs in many respects from that in younger persons. In old age, most risk factors for ischemic heart disease such as an elevated level of total serum cholesterol, cigarette smoking, obesity, Type A personality and abnormal glucose tolerance have a less adverse effect on morbidity and mortality from ischemic heart disease, while an elevated level of high density lipoprotein, and moderation in the use of alcohol each have a favorable effect. A high level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol exerts an adverse effect. Both systolic and diastolic hypertension have an adverse influence on morbidity and mortality from ischemic and hypertensive heart disease, as does the electrocardiogrpahic pattern of left ventricular strain. Long-term controlled studies are needed to determine the effects on mortality and morbidity of the modification of risk factors by means of drugs, diet, and change of lifestyle. Such studies are necessary if we are to determine whether hoped-for favorable changes are offset by potential side effects on physical and mental health.
