Long-Term Results of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Patients With Ischemic Cardiomyopathy: The Impact of Renal Insufficiency and Noncardiac Vascular Disease

Even though severely depressed LVEF is associated with an increased risk of long-term mortality, the presence of comorbid factors, especially renal dysfunction and noncardiac vascular disease, increase the risk of long-term mortality by a similar or even larger magnitude. These comorbid factors should be given important consideration when evaluating the risks and benefits of CABG.
