Coronary Bypass Surgery

The results of evaluation of the quality of life of 40 CHD patients with severe left ventricular myocardial dysfunction after coronary bypass surgery are presented. Their quality of life was assessed at baseline, at 1, 3, 5 and 7 years by means of SF-36 questionnaire. The data obtained show that these patients' quality of life significantly drops at baseline, and the lower the quality of life, the higher the patients' functional class of angina and heart failure. It was found out that coronary bypass surgery contributes to the improvement of the quality of life of patients with CHD and low myocardial contractility of the left ventricle.
