Cardiac magnetic resonance findings predict increased resource utilization in elective coronary artery bypass grafting [PDF]
, 2008 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 ...
