Abstract

To more fully define the influence of COPD in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). One hundred ninety-one patients with COPD underwent CABG from March 1, 1995, to June 21, 1996. There were 129 male and 62 female patients. The mean age was 69 years (45 to 86 years). Patients with COPD were defined according to the Summit Database definition: requires therapy for the treatment of chronic pulmonary compromise or has an FEV1 <75% of predicted value. Hospital mortality was 7%. Hospital morbidity was 50%. Statistically significant (p<0.05) morbidity included general pulmonary complications (12%) and atrial fibrillation (27%). Hospital mortality for COPD patients with postoperative pneumonia was 11%. Hospital mortality for patients with COPD receiving steroids was 19%. The hospital mortality for patients > or = 75 years of age was 17%. The combined mortality for patients with COPD who are > or = 75 years of age and receiving steroid therapy was 50%. The mean length of stay was 12 days. Late mortality was 1% at a mean of 1.5 years. Hospital mortality in most patients with mild-to-moderate COPD undergoing CABG is similar to those without COPD. In the minority of patients with severe COPD who are receiving steroids...Continue Reading

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
