[Body structure and ABO and Rh blood groups in patients with advanced coronary heart disease after aorto-coronary by-pass surgery].

A clinical analysis of the anthropometric traits related to body structure, ABO and rhesus blood groups was performed in 200 male individuals coming mainly from Warsaw and its territorial district. All patients were aged from thirty-one to sixty-eight years (X = 42.3) and total duration of coronary heart disease was from 1 to 12 years. The number of 54 patients (21%) was subjected to surgery because of coronary insufficiency, but without myocardial infarction (M.I.). One or three single cases of M.I. were reported in the remaining number of 146 patients (73%). A degree of extension of arteriosclerotic lesions either in two or three coronary arteries was larger determined upon coronarography. The control group for blood--groups in 200 patients was made of 11,820 healthy male--blood from District Blood Donor Station in Warsaw, but for the anthropometric tracts (height, body weight and Rohrer's index) the control group was made of 283 men aged 35-80 years (average 43.2) coming mainly from Warsaw and its district. Patients after aorto-coronary by-pas surgery with highly advanced arteriosclerosis of the coronary arteries featured indicated significantly higher number of cases with group AB (p < 0.01) due to deficiency in group O (p < 0.05). It has also been found that the occurrence of rhesus blood group lack in patients having undergone by-pass surgery is significantly common (p < 0.01). No significant difference in anthropological traits between the patients after aorto-coronary by-pass surgery and the control group from the same geographical region was reported.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

[Clinical evaluation of patients after aortocoronary bypass in the early postoperative period and 12 months after the treatment].

The authors discuss results of the investigation in a group of 100 male individuals aged 36-63 (mean = 50.8) after aorto-coronary by-pass surgery. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: rehab and control group. The evaluation of the clinical state, risk factors and physical efficiency in the preliminary investigation (right after surgery) and 12 months after medical treatment have been made. The patients from both groups at the early stage of post-surgical period do not differentiate each other in the clinical as well as physical and coronary efficiency aspects. After one year the patients from the control group featured twice as more cases with coronary instability and more frequent ventricule rhythm disturbances (32.6%) as compared to the patients from the rehab group (20.8%). The patients from the rehab and the control group following 12 months after treatment do not differentiate each other accordingly to overweight (R-group--64.6%, N-group 63.04%). The patients from rehab group following 12 months after treatment featured more frequent cases with lipid metabolism disturbances (56.2%) as compared to the control group (43.4%) where in spite of this fact, these patients featured better physical and coronary efficiency. The number of smokers in both groups is considerably diminished during the year--in R-group from 76% to 10% in control group from 58% to 17.3% respectively.
