Preoperative soluble VCAM-1 contributes to predict late mortality after coronary artery surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 has been associated with long-term cardiovascular mortality in patients with stable coronary artery disease and to the development of new atrial fibrillation in subjects with cardiovascular risk factors but no evidence of cardiac disease.

Hypothesis

Preoperative soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 predicts the risk of future all-cause death and cardiovascular death among patients submitted to elective coronary artery bypass surgery.

Methods

From a cohort of 312 patients who underwent elective coronary artery bypass surgery prospectively followed for a median of 6.7 years, we evaluated the prognostic role of preoperative soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, inflammatory markers, CHA2DS2-VASc score and dev
