Coronaryarterybypassgrafting (CABG) is a surgical procedure that improves blood flow to the heart tissue and can effectively treat myocardial ischemia caused by coronaryartery disease.
In the ISCHEMIA (International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness with Medical and Invasive Approaches) trial, researchers examined the risk of ischemic events in patients with stable coronaryartery disease. years, with 57.1% occurring within 30 days after CABG. Original article: Redfors B et al.
In the context of myocardial infarction, coronaryarterybypassgraft (CABG) surgery is the prevalent therapeutic modality associated with several early and late complications. Survivors may also experience several complications. Infarct-related torsade de pointes (TdP) is an uncommon complication.
In many trials, revascularisation in addition to OMT was not effective in either improving survival or reducing adverse events compared with OMT alone, except for a subcohort of patients treated with coronaryarterybypassgrafting (CABG) in BARI-2D (Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation 2 Diabetes) trial.
Introduction Coronaryarterybypassgrafting (CABG) is the most common cardiac surgical procedure. The prognosis of revascularization via CABG is determined by the patency of the used grafts, for which an intact endothelium is essential. There was also a non-ischemia-reperfusion control group ( n = 8).
DISCUSSION: The 12-lead EKG EMS initially obtained for this patient showed severe ischemia, with profound "infero-lateral" ST depression and reciprocal ST elevation in lead aVR. Author continued : STE in aVR is often due to left main coronaryartery obstruction (OR 4.72), and is associated with in-hospital cardiovascular mortality (OR 5.58).
Angiography done after initial stabilization showed severe stenosis of distal left main coronaryartery. In addition, there were multiple lesions in all three vessels, making a standard indication for an urgent coronaryarterybypassgrafting. There is minimal ST segment elevation in aVR as well.
Now you have ECG and troponin evidence of ischemia, AND ventricular dysrhythmia, which means this is NOT a stable ACS. It they are static, then they are not due to ischemia. This is better evidence for ischemia than any other data point. Again, cath lab was not activated. What does this troponin level mean?
In most cases, rather, the culprit is gross ischemia due to myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, or advanced coronaryartery disease. Unfortunately, today’s case is lacking any such diagnostics, thus I cannot say with certainty that the QT interval is, or is not, culpable in arrhythmogenesis. [1]
which would suggest reduced rates of major adverse cardiac events with coronaryarterybypassgrafting." 2 days later This is a typical LVH pattern, without ischemia Patient underwent 4 vessel CABG.

Many patients suffer from a systemic inflammatory response and local myocardial ischemia after off-pump coronaryarterybypassgrafting, which is related to an adverse prognosis. The serum prealbumin level was assessed within 612h after the operation.
Watch what happends as the heart recovers from its episode of ischemia. The ECG shows inferior ischemia. Are the T-waves in leads I and II hyperacute? Hard to tell. How can we know? By the evolution of the ECG! The T-waves deflate, demonstrating that the first one was indeed hyperacute. Smith: not sure why that is.
The patient was started on heparin for possible NSTEMI vs demand ischemia. increasing stenosis, ischemia, volume changes, increased blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, etc.) The EKGs from the ED presentation were felt by cardiology to represent "subendocardial ischemia." Smith : these ECGs do NOT show subendocardial ischemia.
