Psychosocial and functional outcomes in women after coronary artery bypass surgery.
In this longitudinal study of women after CABS, the women were coping admirably with good psychosocial and functional outcomes up to 3 months postoperatively. It is suggested that women be instructed how to find and use their support systems and be told that most women do well and return to normal activities of daily living after CABS.
