Profile of men submitted to myocardial revascularization surgery

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To describe the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of men submitted to myocardial revascularization surgery (CRM). MATERIAL AND METHOD: a descriptive study that analyzed 39 medical records of men. Data were tabulated and processed using the SPSS 21.0 software and presented descriptively in tables and figures. RESULTS: a predominance of men over 60 years of age or older (66.6%), with a mean age of 65.13 (dp 9.35). The majority had comorbidities, systemic arterial hypertension (94.8%) and dyslipidemia (77.0%). All had CAD with serious coronary lesions and the most revascularized artery was the anterior descending artery (AD) (97.4%). Only 12.8% had only one coronary artery revascularized. It is noted that 82% had extracorporeal circulation time less than or equal to 90 minutes. CONCLUSION: men undergoing CABG are mostly elderly with comorbidities, leading to the development of risk factors and severe heart disease.
