Health locus of control in patients undergoing coronary artery surgery – changes and associated outcomes: a seven-year cohort study [PDF]
Introduction: Health locus of control is a measure of an individual’s beliefs in factors that are thought to determine health experiences. Scores are generated and form a graduated linear scale from external to internal control, with respect to their ...

Factors associated with prolonged length of stay following cardiac surgery in a major referral hospital in Oman: a retrospective observational study [PDF]
Two objectives were set for this study. The first was to identify factors influencing prolonged postoperative length of stay (LOS) following cardiac surgery. The second was to devise a predictive model for prolonged LOS in the cardiac intensive care unit

Cardiac magnetic resonance findings predict increased resource utilization in elective coronary artery bypass grafting [PDF]
Morbidity following CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting) is difficult to predict and leads to increased healthcare costs. We hypothesized that pre-operative CMR (cardiac magnetic resonance) findings would predict resource utilization in elective CABG ...

Six-minute walk distance after coronary artery bypass grafting compared with medical therapy in ischaemic cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Background: In patients with ischaemic left ventricular dysfunction, coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) may decrease mortality, but it is not known whether CABG improves functional capacity.
