The evaluation of the coronary artery sufficiency in myocardial infarction patients after cardiac surgery and preventive therapy

During 5 years period (1989-1993) the authors investigated a group of 40 patients with coronary artery disease after myocardial infarction treated in the Silesian Center of Cardiology in Katowice. 20 patients were operated on (CABG), 20 were medically-treated. It was evaluated the history, physical...

Summary:During 5 years period (1989-1993) the authors investigated a group of 40 patients with coronary artery disease after myocardial infarction treated in the Silesian Center of Cardiology in Katowice. 20 patients were operated on (CABG), 20 were medically-treated. It was evaluated the history, physical status, stress-test, echocardiography and 24-hours ECG. Stress test was estimated according to Mark's test. In the echocardiographic examination it was observed wall motion score index (WMSI) and the left ventricular abnormal contraction area (AA). In the operated group it was noticed higher physical ability and no influence of CABG on left ventricular contractability.
