ABSTRACT

In-hospital and long-term outcomes after Coronary artery Bypass grafting (CABG) are im‐ pacted by various factors including age, gender and various co-morbidities including chron‐ ic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, diabetes Mellitus, dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease (CKD), Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and even connective tissue disor‐ ders such as systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis. Both CKD and PAD have been considered a major risk factor for morbidity and mortality postCABG [1]. Therefore, both are always considered as a variable when calculating risk for perioperative mortality in patients undergoing CABG in the popular EUROSCORE and society of Society of Thoracic Surgeons National Cardiac Surgery Database scoring system [1,2]. We will discuss the degree of importance of these co-morbidities along with the epidemiolo‐ gy, underlying proposed pathogenetic mechanisms, significant associated co-factors, and al‐ so highlight the pertinent existing data on these parameters.
