Abstract

Obese patients are usually thought to have an increased risk for complications in coronary artery bypass surgery. Therefore, the data of 500 consecutive patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting at our department in 1998 by use of cardiopulmonary bypass were analyzed. Severe obesity was defined as body mass index (BMI) > or = 30.0 kg/m(2). Obese patients (n=100; group O) were compared to the remaining 400 patients (group C). Both groups were comparable with respect to sex, history of prior myocardial infarction, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, previous stroke, duration of cardiopulmonary bypass, aortic cross-clamp time and number of distal anastomoses performed. Obese patients were slightly younger and diabetes and hypertension were more common in these patients. Survival and potential complications including perioperative myocardial infarction, sternal wound infection, wound infection at the leg, renal failure, stroke, prolonged mechanical ventilation, pneumonia, reexploration for bleeding, and atrial arrhythmias were analyzed. No significant differences between obese and non-obese patients were detected. Severe obesity does not necessarily adversely affect perioperative mortality and morbidity in patients und...Continue Reading

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.

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.
