Abstract
Methods Patients who underwent LGE CMR between January 2003 and February 2010 <1 month prior to CABG were included. A standard 16 segment model was used for Left ventricular (LV) scar quantification. Patients were categorized into Scar group and No-scar groups. Perfusion time (PT), Cross clamp time (CCT), 30-Day mortality, Ventricular arrhythmia, duration of ventilation, prolonged ICU (ICU-LOS) and hospital stay (H-LOS) were obtained. Chi square test, ttest, Wilcoxon rank sum tests and multivariate regression analysis was used for data analysis.
Highlights
Myocardial viability assessment by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on Cardiac Magnetic resonance (CMR) is an important prognostic tool in patients undergoing CABG
Effect of myocardial Scar detected by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance on perfusion time and short term outcomes after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
We aim to evaluate the association of scar with surgical parameters and 30 day outcomes post CABG as defined by Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) database
