Represent the female sex a risk factor for myocardium revascularization (CABG) in our center?

Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: according to Wenger in developed countries more than 50% of the women die as a consequence of cardiovascular diseases. The sudden death is responsible for 35% of that mortality. With the intention of optimizing the therapeutics intended to know what is the woman's profile operated in our center and to establish if the female sex represents a isolated risk factor for CABG. Method: Historical cohort study. Population source with 83 patients being the first group (G1) formed by 23 women and the second (G2) formed by 60 men. Itinerary with 32 items for data collection. Univariate analysis. Significance level of 5%. Approved for the Ethics Committee. Results: in G1 the average of age was of 65,23±12,37 and IMC 27,45±6,28. In G2 the average of age was of 61,69±10,15 and IMC 28,22±5,99. The univariate analysis identified: age (P=0,045), IMC (P=0,895), angina (P=0,159), cardiac insufficiency (P=0,614), previous infarct (P=0,395), diabetes (P=0,144), COPD (P=0,890), tabacco smoker (P=0,819), dyslipidemia (P=0,513), hypertension (P=0,505), previous stroke (P=0,547), number of commited arteries (P=0,868), number of accomplished grafts (P=0,667), extracorporeal use (P=0,104), postoperative infarction (p=0,159), breathing support (P=0,768), postoperative stroke (P=0,577), bleeding (P=0,238), postoperative infection (P=0,579), hospital stay (P=0,221) and hospital death (P=0,666). Conclusion: the revascularized woman is a senior patient (62,90±10,92), with overweight, angina (97,6%) and hypertension (62,30%) bearer, diabetic (45,6%), with previous infarct (59,7%). The prevalence of the coronary disease is larger in male (2,6/1) and the female sex didn't represent a isolated factor of risk for CABG.
