Arrhythmias are common after cardiac surgery such as coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. Although most of these arrhythmias are transient and have a benign course, it may represent a significant source of morbidity and mortality. Postoperative arrhy
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) placement was significantly more often performed in site II (site I, 3.6 % vs. site II, 16.7 %, p = 0.02). For NSTEMI only, rates of intervention were nearly similar in cTn-positive patients ensured by the first or second control (71.6 vs. 87.5 %;...

This study analyzed the potential overuse of angiograms among patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery in Turkey. Methods Using the Turkish National Health Insurance Database, patients undergoing CABG surgery in 2010 were identified using the appropriate International ...
There is some evidence that coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery may reduce the incidence of recurrent episodes of SCD by prevention of myocardial ischemia. To test the hypothesis that CABG surgery is effective in the prevention of SCD, we compared the recordings of implantable cardioverter ...
