3.2 | Cross-section comparisons
No follow-up data could be collected from one patient. Fourteen (13.9 %) patients experienced a cardiovascular event within the one-year follow-up after CAGB surgery (Fig. 1). Eleven patients suffered from angina pectoris, two patients from cardiac decompensation, and one patient died due to a cardiac cause. Regarding dental conditions patients with new cardiovascular event reported significantly more often about early tooth loss caused by tooth loosening among first-degree relatives. No other dental parameter was significantly associated with the cardiovascular outcome. Instead patients with event suffered significantly more frequently from peripheral arterial disease and reported more often a previous myocardial infarction. Moreover, they took significantly more frequently anticoagulants and antiarrhythmics. In addition, there was a trend for an eleveated number of CHD patients with artrial fibrillation among the event group. (Table 2).
