Abstract:The aim of the study was to evaluate the prognostic value of the one-year dynamics of the new index START in patients with coronary artery disease after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods. Patients with coronary artery disease (n = 196) whose START index was assessed before CABG and one year after surgery. Depending on the dynamics of the stiffness index, three groups of patients were identified: 1st—with a decrease in haSTART (n = 79, 40.3%), 2nd—without dynamics (n = 52, 26.5%), and 3rd.
