Effects of Sodium-Glucose Transporter 2 Inhibitors (SGLT2-I) in Patients With Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) Treated by Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting via MiECC: Inflammatory Burden, and Clinical Outcomes at 5 Years of Follow-Up
Conclusion: In T2DM patients, the SGLT2-I significantly reduced the inflammatory burden and ameliorated clinical outcomes at 5 years of follow-up post-CABG via MiECC.

Hyponatremia: an overlooked risk factor associated with adverse outcomes after cardiac surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative hyponatremia is relatively common and is associated with adverse short- and long-term outcomes after cardiac surgery. Preoperative hyponatremia can be used independently from standard risk factors to identify high risk patients for cardiac surgery. PMID: 33080237 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Low serum sodium level during cardiopulmonary bypass predicts increased risk of postoperative stroke after coronary artery bypass graft surgery
Conclusions: An average serum sodium level of less than 130 mEq/L during cardiopulmonary bypass is independently associated with an increased risk of postoperative stroke in patients who undergo primary coronary artery bypass grafting.
