  • Title: [Clinical and social factors of resuming work by patients with ischemic heart disease after aortocoronary bypass].
    Author: Vinogradov SV, Malikov VE.
    Journal: Klin Med (Mosk); 1991 Apr; 69(4):32-5. PubMed ID: 1865646.
    Abstract:
    In spite of the fact that clinical condition in 85.6% of coronary patients subjected to aortocoronary shunting has improved against their preoperative status, only 43.3% of them resume work. Invalidity in these patients increases two-fold mounting to 94.4%. The causes of the discrepancy between the expected and real performance are scrutinized with due consideration of clinical and social factors essential for the patients' decision to resume or give up work.
