BackgroundAnemia is one of the most common complications of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and has been shown to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The impact of anemia on hospital readmission after CABG, a potential measure of delayed complications, has not been ...
Causes of Post-operative Anemia Post-operative anemia after major non-cardiac surgeries may be due to worsening of pre-operative anemia, peri-operative blood loss (intra-operative blood loss, coagulopathy, and phle- botomy), and post-operative reduced erythropoiesis due to surgery-associated ...
Except for three patients who died after cardiac surgery, all patients whose deaths were attributed to anemia died with hemoglobin concentrations of 5 g/dl or less. There were 25 survivors with a hemoglobin of 5 g/dl or less. Recently, Weiskopf and coworkers [19] conducted an interventional ...

When hypoxia is present, the heart has to work harder to deliver adequate oxygen to the body. This may contribute to several cardiac-related symptoms including shortness of breath, chest pain, low blood pressure, and arrhythmia. Receiving treatment can help alleviate cardiac-related symptoms. ...
