    Summary

    This study followed 122 patients for 5-8 years after cardiac revascularization. Results show low mortality and sustained angina-free survival, indicating long-term benefits of the procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Cardiac Surgery
    • Clinical Outcomes

    Background:

    • Cardiac revascularization is a common procedure for coronary artery disease.
    • Long-term outcomes after revascularization are crucial for patient management.
    • Assessing survival and symptom recurrence is essential for evaluating treatment efficacy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term mortality and morbidity after cardiac revascularization.
    • To determine the rate of angina recurrence and late infarction in a patient cohort.
    • To compare the observed mortality with expected rates in a normal population.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective follow-up study of 122 patients.
    • Data collection included mortality, angina status, and infarction events.
    • Follow-up duration ranged from five to eight years.

    Main Results:

    • Overall mortality was 2%, comparable to the general population.
    • Seventy percent of patients remained angina-free at an average of six years.
    • The yearly rate of late infarction was 3.7% (assuming all cardiac deaths were infarctions).

    Conclusions:

    • Cardiac revascularization demonstrates favorable long-term survival rates.
    • A significant majority of patients experience sustained relief from angina.
    • The procedure offers substantial long-term benefits for patients with coronary artery disease.
