Comparative clinical and demographic characteristics of coronary artery disease of patients after coronary bypass surgery depending on disability

The restoration of coronary blood flow, successfully carried out, reduces the clinical manifestations of coronary heart disease and can return to their previous occupation. However, the proportion of patients after coronary artery bypass grafting is recognized disabled. The purpose of the research - a comparative analysis of clinical and demographic characteristics of patients after coronary artery bypass grafting among the disabled. The results indicate that the disability before the surgery was due to the worse condition of the left ventricle (higher proportion of patients with postinfarction cardiosclerosis and aneurysm of the left ventricle) compared with patients who did not have disability prior to surgery. There are differences between the groups in frequency of postinfarction cardiosclerosis (70,8 % and 80 %, p = 0, 0001) and the proportion of patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction less than 50 % (15,5 % and 19,9 %, p = 0,007). Statistically significant differences between groups were found in the kind of work. Among patients who had identified a group of disability before coronary artery bypass surgery, the proportion of people engaged in physical labor, significantly higher than in group disability after CABG (p = 0,003) and in the group without a disability (p = 0,001). Study of disability of patients after coronary artery bypass surgery is a necessary step for further in-depth research.
