“…Indeed, hospitals are having a high proportion of cardiac patients, yet the cardiology centers are not well-spread in all hospitals; the limitation of the patients needed to carry out our study using only 100 patients. Data were collected via generic health questionnaire; it is an international and large-scale in many studies (24) that evaluate the HRQOL before and after CABG (6) . Males are having a higher incidence and the highest rank was 59% of the patients were in the age group of 50-55, this associated with other Greek studies that showed after coronary artery bypass graft surgery that males are in higher risk situation from coronary artery disease and suffer from this surgery (20) .…”

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a cluster of diseases that involve heart and blood vessels (10). They also include coronary heart disease (CHD), coronary artery disease (CAD), and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This paper aimed at measuring the quality of life after coronary artery bypass graft procedure and determine the factors that affect the quality of life. Methods: Data was collected via a structured close-ended questionnaire in which 100 (male and female, aged 40-60) were questioned. Patients were chosen after underwent CABG surgery 2 to5 years. Results: Carried out as good 36% for their general heath and 24% very good. The activities indicated that there was a significant difference between males and females. Moreover, female participants were significantly different from male (P. value <0.05) in their perception towards own health. Elder participants (56-60 years) were feeling better in comparison with middle age (40-49 years), (P. value 0.002). Conclusion and recommendations: The core domains related with the quality of life, that affected are physical functioning, bodily pain, social functioning and emotion, Therefore, health care specialists must plan for interventions towards improving the HRQOL to decrease the complications of CABG surgery. We recommend the establishment of a special center for rehabilitation of patients underwent CABG. Moreover, providing a further minimal invasive procedure to improve HRQOL.

“…[11][12][13][14] Application of combined arterial and venous grafts in people of 80 years and more provides better results in terms of survival, postoperative complications, and QOL comparing to the use of a vein grafts only. 15,16) A group of Swedish authors, however, found that patients older than 60 express a tendency of slight improvement in QOL compared with younger patients five years after CABG. 17) Guadagnolo et al evaluated and compared the outcomes after elective CABG in patients younger and older than 65.…”

Purpose: The study evaluates the changes in quality of life (QOL) six months after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) related to the patients' age. Methods: The total of 243 consecutive patients completed the Nottingham Health Profile Questionnaire part 1 before and six months after CABG. Postoperative questionnaire was completed by 226 patients. Patients were divided into four examined groups (<50, 50-59, 60-69 and ≥70 years), according to their age. Results: Six months after CABG, the quality of life in different sections has been significantly improved in most patients.The analysis of the relation between the age and the changes in QOL of patients six months after CABG showed a significant correlation among the patients' age and the improvement of QOL in the sections of physical mobility (r = 0.18, p = 0.008), social isolation (r = 0.17, p = 0.01) and energy ( r = 0.21, p = 0.002). The most prominent improvement was found in older patients. The age was not an independent predictor of QOL deterioration after CABG. Conclusions: The most noticeable improvement of QOL six months after CABG was found in older patients. Age is not the independent predictor of deterioration of QOL after CABG.

“…In the majority of patients, QoL has improved after CABG, but often in a differentiated manner, depending on the gender of patients studied. 9 A meta-analysis has shown that performing CABG in the elderly may be associated with significant improvements in QoL 10…”

BackgroundSurgical revascularization of the coronary arteries leads to changes in quality of life (QoL) for patients with coronary heart disease. The aim of this work was to monitor QoL, considering cognitive function, depression, and activities of daily living in elderly patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).MethodsThis study included 65 patients (29 women and 36 men) aged 61–74 years with stable coronary heart disease who underwent CABG. The control group included 29 women and 36 men aged 61–74 years who were not suffering from coronary heart disease. The questionnaires used in the study canvassed QoL (Nottingham Health Profile), cognitive function, depression, and basic and instrumental activities of daily living. The research was conducted before surgery and repeated 6 and 12 months after surgery.ResultsQoL was comparable between women and men and was lower than in the control group (P<0.05). After CABG, the values for particular domains of QoL improved more in men than in women. There was a reduction in the severity of depression 6 months after surgery in men and 12 months after surgery in women.ConclusionElderly patients with coronary heart disease have decreased QoL, which normalizes in men and improves in women after CABG.
