Retrosternal hematoma causing torsade de pointes after coronary artery bypass graft surgery; a case report

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

In the context of myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is the prevalent therapeutic modality associated with several early and late complications. Arrhythmia was properly resolved after hematoma removal surgically. Survivors may also experience several complications.

Left Atrial Strain to Predict Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging

We investigated the role of left atrial strain parameters by preoperative speckle tracking echocardiography as independent predictors of POAF in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft.METHODS:Consecutive patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft were prospectively enrolled at three Italian centers.

Prediction of postoperative stroke in patients experienced coronary artery bypass grafting surgery: a machine learning approach

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

According to the analysis of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, AUC, DCA and sensitivity, all seven machine learning models perform well and random forest (RF) machine model was found to perform best (AUC-ROC=0.9008, Accuracy: 0.9008, Precision: 0.6905; Recall: 0.7532, F1: 0.7205).

How Smoking Affects Your Heart and Increases Surgery Risk

MIBHS

These factors contribute to a host of cardiovascular problems, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias, making smokers significantly more vulnerable to heart-related illnesses. Smokers are also at a higher risk of graft failure in procedures like coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
