Objective: To review the results of uncomplicated coronary artery bypass graft surgery and to identify factors which influence operative mortality (OM) and postoperative myocardial infarction (PMI).
Design: An analysis of the outcome in patients having coronary artery bypass graft surgery for the first time from 1978 to 1990 inclusive.
Setting: The Cardiothoracic Surgery Unit at the Royal Adelaide Hospital.
Participants: Twelve thousand and twenty-two patients had coronary artery bypass graft surgery only. Complete data were available for 12,003 patients.
Results: There was an overall mortality rate of 0.99% and a postoperative myocardial infarction rate of 1.34%. Older patients and women had a higher operative mortality rate. Both unstable angina and poor ventricular function increased the mortality rate. The only significant operative factor was the perfusion time. There was a more than 16-fold increase in mortality in patients who had an average bypass time (48 minutes) compared with those whose bypass time was 100 minutes or more (0.63% v. 10.3%). The PMI rate changed over the study period, and was also influenced by the presence of unstable angina and the duration of bypass: unstable angina doubled the rate from 0.86% to 1.91%, and with an average bypass time the PMI rate was 0.56% whereas with a bypass time of 100 minutes or more the rate increased to 7.7%.
Conclusions: The outcome after coronary artery bypass graft surgery is strongly dependent on the perfusion time and the presence of unstable angina. Older patients and women are more likely to die during the operation.

Background: Growing evidence suggests a potential link between periodontal disease and the development of atherosclerosis, positioning periodontal disease as a possible risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). This study aimed to evaluate periodontal status in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) by measuring the Periodontal Inflamed Surface Area (PISA) score in individuals undergoing coronary angiography.
Material And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 300 patients scheduled for coronary angiography at K.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Triglyceride glucose index (Tyg), a convenient evaluation variable for insulin resistance, has shown associations with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, studies on the Tyg index's predictive value for adverse prognosis in patients with AF without diabetes are lacking.

We investigated clinical factors and biochemical markers associated with amygdalar metabolic activity evaluated by [F]-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in 346 subjects without a history of malignant neoplasms. Univariate regression analysis revealed significant relationships between amygdalar metabolic activity and fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycated hemoglobin, coronary artery disease (CAD) history, aspirin use, oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs) use, and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA). In multiple stepwise regression analysis, FPG and CAD history were independently associated with amygdalar metabolic activity.

Background: The Scottish Computed Tomography of the Heart (SCOT-HEART) trial demonstrated that management guided by coronary CT angiography (CCTA) improved the diagnosis, management, and outcome of patients with stable chest pain. We aimed to assess whether CCTA-guided care results in sustained long-term improvements in management and outcomes.
Methods: SCOT-HEART was an open-label, multicentre, parallel group trial for which patients were recruited from 12 outpatient cardiology chest pain clinics across Scotland.
