Abstract

Patients with ischemic heart disease and low ejection fraction often exhibit improved outcomes following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Our study aimed to assess the impact of CABG on left ventricular (LV) systolic function and identify predictors of adverse postoperative outcomes. We conducted a prospective cross-sectional study involving 110 CABG patients with a mean age of 56.1 ± 12.2 years and preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) below 50%. Patients were categorized into two groups: group I (n=76, LVEF > 35%) and group II (n=34, LVEF < 35%). In group II, there was a significantly higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) (p = 0.05) and Euro SCORE II compared to group I (p < 0.001). However, other clinical predictors showed no significant difference between the two groups. Both groups exhibited a significant improvement in LVEF post-surgery (p = 0.05), with comparable in-hospital mortality rates recorded. The study identified DM, significant diastolic dysfunction, and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) insertion as predictors of in-hospital mortality (p = 0.001, 0.03, and < 0.001, respectively). These findings suggest a noticeable enhancement in LV systolic function post-CABG, contributing to improved survival rates. However, patients with DM, significant diastolic dysfunction, and those requiring IABP insertion during the perioperative period are at higher risk of mortality. Therefore, targeted attention and specialized care are essential for optimizing outcomes in these high-risk patients.
