A multicentre Spanish study for multivariate prediction of perioperative in-hospital cerebrovascular accident after coronary bypass surgery: the PACK2 score
CONCLUSIONS PACK2 risk scale shows good predictive accuracy in the data analysed and could be useful in clinical practice for decision making and patient selection.

Influence of aerobic training on neurohormonal and hemodynamic responses to head-up tilt test and on autonomic nervous activity at rest and after exercise in patients after bypass surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: Aerobic training improved neurohormonal and hemodynamic responses to head-up tilt test and favorably modified sympatho-vagal balance in low risk post-CABG patients. PMID: 23558806 [PubMed - in process]

The future of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting: a North American perspective.
Authors: Yanagawa B, Nedadur R, Puskas JD Abstract Off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (OPCAB) is currently performed routinely in a minority of specialized centers and in many more centers, utilized only when a porcelain aorta mandates a no-touch aortic technique. The OPCAB literature can be summarized as follows: (I) large-scale randomized trials in relatively low risk patients that include surgeons with a range of experience demonstrating no consistent beneficial differences in major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular outcomes but lower transfusion rates and shorter length of stay, tempered by some reports of ...

Strength Training and the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease
Conclusions: These data support the inclusion of muscle-strengthening exercises in physical activity regimens for reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, independent of aerobic exercise. Further research is needed to determine the optimum dose and intensity of muscle-strengthening exercises.

The Impact of Formal Training and Certification on the Relationship Between Volume and Outcomes in Percutaneous Coronary Interventions
Conclusions: Our study shows that the angiographic and procedural success rates of PCI, as well as the in-hospital mortality, do not seem to be dependent on the annual volume for formally trained and certified interventional cardiologists.

Not Just Acid Reflux: The Need to Think Worst First
Discussion Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.1 This year, 720,000 Americans will have a new coronary event—defined as first hospitalized myocardial infarction (MI) or coronary heart disease death—and around 335,000 will have a recurrent event. Approximately 35% of people who experience a coronary event in a given year and around 14% of patients who have an acute coronary syndrome will die from it.1 Roughly 60% of patients with an acute coronary syndrome are transported to the emergency department via ambulance.2–4. Up to one-third of patients experiencing an MI may not complain of chest...

Establishing the Safety of Training in Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Retrospective Comparison of Outcomes between Trainees and a Consultant Surgeon
Conclusions These results demonstrate comparable outcomes in OPCAB surgery between a consultant surgeon and trainees. This study supports the conclusion that training surgeons in OPCAB is appropriate for trainees in the final years of cardiac surgery training.

Developing a cardiac surgery unit in the Caribbean: A reflection
ConclusionFrequent outside visits complemented by training in an overseas center, and transfer of knowledge proved to be an effective strategy to develop a cardiac surgery unit in an emerging country with results comparable to accepted international standards.

Prehabilitation Coming of Age: IMPLICATIONS FOR CARDIAC AND PULMONARY REHABILITATION.
Abstract While cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs traditionally involve exercise therapy and risk management following an event (eg, myocardial infarction and stroke), or an intervention (eg, coronary artery bypass surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention), prehabilitation involves enhancing functional capacity and optimizing risk profile prior to a scheduled intervention. The concept of prehabilitation is based on the principle that patients with higher functional capabilities will better tolerate an intervention, and will have better pre- and post-surgical outcomes. In addition to improving fitn...

Failure to Rescue: A New Society of Thoracic Surgeons Quality Metric for Cardiac Surgery
CONCLUSIONS: A new risk-adjusted FTR metric has been developed which complements existing STS performance measures. The metric specifically assesses institutional effectiveness of postoperative care, allowing hospitals to target quality improvement efforts.PMID:34242640 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.06.025
