CABG and Preoperative use of Beta-Blockers in Patients with Stable Angina are Associated with Better Cardiovascular Survival
Objective: In contrast to unstable angina, optimal therapy in patients with stable
angina is debated. Our aim was to evaluate the outcomes of patients with
stable angina scheduled for isolated coronary artery bypass grafts and the
effect of preoperative use of beta-blockers. Overall and cardiovascular
survivals were our primary outcome. Operative mortality and postoperative
complications along with subgroup analysis of diabetic patients were our
secondary outcomes.Methods: Retrospective evaluation of patients with stable angina scheduled for
isolated coronary artery bypass grafts was included. Pre- and postoperative
va ...
