Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of different graft choices (single ITA vs BITA) on early postoperative myocardial function in CABG surgery using advanced imaging methods like 3D ejection fraction and ventricular strain.
- It included 35 isolated CABG patients, measuring their heart performance before and one week after surgery, revealing a decrease in ejection fraction and strain values post-surgery.
- Results showed no significant difference in myocardial function changes between the two graft types, suggesting both methods have similar effects on early heart recovery after surgery.
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common complication after Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG). Despite advanced treatment methods, primary prevention is crucial. Many factors have been investigated as markers for AF, but further research is required.
