Twenty-year follow-up of patients with new perioperative Q waves after coronary artery bypass grafting

It is unclear whether the development of new Q waves on the electrocardiogram after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is associated with an adverse prognosis. We analyzed the 20-year survival of 227 patients who underwent CABG, and found that new perioperative Q waves had no impact on long-term...
