Body Mass Index (BMI) and Its Influence on the Cardiovascular and Operative Risk Profile in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Patients: Impact of Inflammation and Leptin

Table 1

Patients’ comorbidities (age, creatinine, and left ventricular function) are not significantly influencing the cardiovascular risk profile (IDDM, familiar disposition, and arterial hypertension) or significantly correlating with the intraoperative finding of a severe coronary calcification. However, there is a significant relation between the value of the left ventricular function (LVEF %) and severe coronary calcification.
