Psychological and Behavioral Responses Following Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

  • Conference paper
Psychopathological and Neurological Dysfunctions Following Open-Heart Surgery

Abstract

Although reduction in angina has been confirmed following coronary artery bypass surgery, long-term studies of longevity have showed equivocal findings, requiring further time to provide definitive conclusions [1–3]. Until such medical data are avail able, postoperative quality of life studies remain of particular importance in justifying the use of this costly procedure.
