ABSTRACT:
Background: Patients with ischemic heart disease and reduced ejection fraction have increased risk for postoperative complications and mortality. Our aim was to evaluate the effect of low EF (on the early outcomes after CABG and identify the predictors of mortality. Methods: From August 2018 to November 2019, 170 consecutive patients underwent CABG. Group 1 included 120 patients with EF ( EF (>40; 57.90% ± 2.27%), 41 were men (82.0%), and the mean age was 54.30 ± 7.01 years and used as a control group. Results: Overall 30-day mortality was 10/120 patients (8.3%). Factors associated with higher mortality were females (70.0% vs. 17.3%, P Conclusion: CABG in EF
