Risk Factors and Long-Term Survival After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Impact of Left Ventricular End-Diastolic Diameter

J Cardiothorac Vasc AnesthPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

LVEDD is a strong, independent predictor of both short- and long-term mortality in patients undergoing isolated CABG.

Study context

Patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) at Israel's largest university tertiary care centre, 2010–2022
Participants
3,090 patients
Outcome

In-hospital mortality

1.3%

1-year all-cause mortality

3.0%

3-year all-cause mortality

5.6%

5-year all-cause mortality

LVEDD threshold 6.1 cm significantly reduced survival; AUC
0.734
CI
0.675-0.788
