title: [Clinicofunctional characteristics of patients with ischemic heart disease after coronary artery bypass surgery as shown by 5-year follow-up].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess immediate and 5-year follow-up results of coronary artery bypass surgery (CABS) in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD).
  
  
  METHODS
  Psychophysiological state (severity of myocardial lesion, psychological status, blood lipids) was evaluated in 58 IHD males aged 44 to 59 (mean age 53.7 +/- 4.2 years). The above psychophysiological parameters were studied before grafting and 3 months, 1 year, 3 years and 5 years after it.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In patients with a considerable myocardial reserve, CABS resulted in a rapid and adequate restoration of the left ventricular function, good exercise tolerance, long compensation. Low myocardial reserve secondary to atherosclerotic and postinfarction cardiosclerosis was associated with a low effect of intracardiac and central hemodynamic rearrangement. Patients with marked hypercholesterolemia had a positive effect of CABS but anginal manifestations in them came earlier and were stronger. Psychic condition of the patients depended on their somatic state determined by the course of the underlying disease.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Myocardial function recovery depends not only on revascularization but also on its initial condition. This should be taken in consideration in long-term monitoring of patients after CABS.
