The study was aimed at examining the factors having an impact on changes in the quality of life (QL) parameters a year after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) in different age groups. 408 patients aged 31-79 years had their QL assessed by means of the SF-36 questionnaire before and one year after elective CABG. Additionally, the patients were tested for the presence of type D personality before and one year after CABG by means of the DS-14 questionnaire. The groups were comparable in terms of previous carotid endarterectomy, peripheral arterial and aortic reconstruction number (p > 0.05). One year after CABG the improved QL (p < 0.01) was reported whereas type D patients had significantly poorer psychological test results (p < 0.01). One year after CABG type D personality and high Euroscore had an independent impact on the QL improvement while previous carotid endartectomies resulted in a significantly improved psychological health component. Thus, along with the detection and treatment of non-coronary lesions the personality type assessment and focused behavioral interventions can contribute to the QL improvement in long-term CABG period.

Background: Fatal arrhythmic events (FAEs), such as sudden cardiac death (SCD) and fatal ventricular arrhythmias, are a devastating complication in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Therefore, in this study we aimed to assess the incidence of FAEs in more recent Japanese patients with CAD and to examine whether risk stratification of FAEs can still be feasible using the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

Methods And Results: In the CREDO Kyoto PCI/CABG registry cohorts-2 and -3, there were 25,843 patients with LVEF data who received a first coronary revascularization (LVEF ≤35% group: N=1,671, 35%45%: N=21,503).

Background: Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (ViV-TAVR) is associated with improved perioperative safety compared to redo surgical aortic valve replacement (redo-SAVR), but long-term outcomes remain uncertain. We therefore compare long-term outcomes of ViV-TAVR and redo-SAVR.

Methods: The study included 1:1 propensity-matched Medicare beneficiaries with degenerated bioprosthetic valves admitted between 09/29/2011 and 12/30/2020 undergoing either redo-SAVR or ViV-TAVR.

Background: As percutaneous therapeutic options expand, the optimal management of severe aortic stenosis (AS) and concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD) is being questioned between coronary artery bypass grafting and surgical aortic valve replacement (CABG+SAVR) versus percutaneous coronary intervention and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (PCI+TAVR). We sought to compare perioperative and longitudinal risk-adjusted outcomes between patients undergoing CABG+SAVR versus PCI+TAVR.

Methods: Using the United States Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services inpatient claims database, we evaluated all patient age 65 and older with AS and CAD undergoing CABG+SAVR or PCI+TAVR (2018-2022).

We aim to evaluate the dynamics of glycemic status and markers of carbohydrate metabolism 12 months after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and their relationship with the one-year prognosis. The analysis of outcomes of 653 patients during 1 year after coronary artery bypass grafting is presented. In those patients who visited the study center after 1 year, markers of carbohydrate metabolism (glucose, glycated hemoglobin, fructosamine, 1.

Over the past decades, new treatments and guidelines have been introduced for the screening and management of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). However, the impact of these medical and scientific advances on the characteristics and burden of coronary lesions over time in FH remains poorly documented. The primary goal of this study is to determine the characteristics of coronary lesions in HeFH patients who underwent coronary angiography within two distinct timeframes: the last five years versus those who had the procedure at the same hospital 25 years earlier.
