Abstract

In conclusion, this study shows that patients ≥75 years of age have a significantly higher incidence of clinical events than those <75 years. Furthermore, despite having a higher incidence of adverse events, elderly patients have significantly lower rates of functional testing than younger patients. In addition, previous CABG was found to be independently associated with adverse events in elderly patients. Although as many as 50% of elderly patients with previous CABG had a clinical event in the 6-month follow-up period, only 17% of elderly patients with no history of previous CABG had a clinical event during the same time period.
