%X Background: The aim of this study was to quantify
the effect of obesity on early results after coronary artery bypass grafting
(CABG). Methods: A retrospective cohort study of patients underwent isolated
CABG from January 2000 through December 2012 was conducted. 586 patients were
classified into two groups: Obese
(n = 100)
BMI ¡Ý 30 kg/m2 and
non-obese (n = 486) BMI ¡Ü 30kg/m2.
Results: The obese patients included more women (p < 0.01), hypertensives (p = 0.01) and dyslipidemics (p = 0001). The CPB, aortic champ times and number of
bypass graft were similar between the groups (p =
