ANALYSIS OF RISK FACTORS IN PATIENTS WHO HAVE UNDERGONE CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFTING SURGERY AND VALVE REPLACEMENT SURGERY

Abstract

Aims: The aim of the study is to investigate differences in usual cardiovascular risk factors’ and comorbidities between the patients who had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting surgery and valve replacement surgery at Cardiovascular Surgery Department of Trakya University School of Medicine. Methods: In this study, patients who had coronary artery bypass grafting surgery and valve replacement surgery at Cardiovascular Surgery Department of Trakya University School of Medicine between 01.01.2018 and 31.12.2018 were analyzed retrospectively. All data regarding the type of cardiovascular operation, habits of smoking, alcohol consumption, family history, chronic diseases and laboratory findings were analyzed using R version 3.5.0. Results: The total number of patients in the study was 130. There were 106 patients who had coronary bypass grafting surgery, 90 (95.4%) of them were male and 16 (4.6%) of them were female. The number of the patients who had valve replacement surgery was 24 where 15 (62.5%) of them were female and 9 (37.5%) were male. Differences in patients’ high-density lipoprotein levels, fasting blood glucose levels along with gender, habits of smoking, diabetes mellitus status and alcohol consumption between coronary artery bypass grafting surgery and valve replacement surgery groups were found statistically significant. Conclusion: Risk factors for cardiovascular disease are very dynamic and multifactorial. In our analysis, there was a significant difference between risk factors for coronary artery bypass and valve replacement surgeries including high-density lipoprotein levels, fasting blood glucose levels, diabetes mellitus, gender and smoking status. The variability may alter according to the living standards, culture, educational status among patients. Keywords: Coronary disease, coronary artery, surgery, risk factors
