Haemodynamics during maximal exercise after coronary bypass surgery.

P W Serruys, M F Rousseau, J Cosyns

    British Heart Journal
    |November 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Adequate coronary bypass surgery significantly improves physical working capacity by increasing heart rate and cardiac output. Unsuccessful surgery, however, leads to unchanged capacity and impaired cardiac function, often due to perioperative myocardial infarction.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Exercise Physiology

    Background:

    • Coronary bypass surgery aims to improve cardiac function and exercise capacity.
    • The impact of revascularization degree on post-operative outcomes requires objective assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effect of coronary bypass surgery on physical working capacity and hemodynamic parameters.
    • To correlate the degree of revascularization with functional outcomes and left ventricular function.

    Main Methods:

    • Objective measurement of physical working capacity using a multistage test of maximal exertion.
    • Hemodynamic measurements during maximal exercise.
    • Patient stratification into adequate, partial, and no revascularization groups.

    Main Results:

    • Adequate revascularization significantly increased physical working capacity, maximal heart rate, and maximal cardiac output.
    • Unsuccessful surgery resulted in unchanged physical working capacity, increased maximal heart rate, but unchanged maximal cardiac output and reduced stroke volume.
    • Partial revascularization showed intermediate results, linked to graft failure and perioperative myocardial infarction.

    Conclusions:

    • Adequate revascularization enhances exercise capacity without negatively impacting left ventricular function.
    • Unsuccessful coronary bypass surgery, often linked to perioperative myocardial infarction, impairs left ventricular function and fails to improve exercise capacity.
    • Predicting the degree of revascularization solely from maximal exercise testing data is challenging.
