title: [Heart surgery in private practice].
abstract: During the period May 1993-August 1994, 100 patients were operated upon with heart surgery at the Private Hospital Hamlet (Copenhagen). Preoperative risk factors such as age > 70 years, female gender, ejection fraction (EF) < 40%, diabetes mellitus, adipositas > 20% above normal weight, were associatet with an increased mortality rate among those cases (5.4%). Overall mortality was 4%. The results are fully comparable with international reports.
