Supervivencia, estado clínico y calidad de vida a los cinco años de la cirugía coronaria. Estudio ARCA

Three-quarters of patients who survived until hospital discharge after coronary surgery did not experience a major cardiac event within 5 years and their level of functioning and quality of life were good. The survival rate after the immediate postoperative period varied according to the patient's preoperative risk profile and, in low-risk patients, was equivalent to that in the general reference population.
