Abstract
BACKGROUND Daily activities have been recommended to minimize the long-term complications of coronary artery bypass as one of the strategies to return to the normal activity level, the effectiveness of which needs further investigation. This study aims to determine the quality of life and activities of daily living one year after CABG. METHODS This cross-sectional study was performed on 206 patients who had undergone CABG for more than one year in 2018 in the north of Iran. The research instrument was a questionnaire including five sections, Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi2, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis tests, and a Logistic regression model. RESULT The mean score of quality of life was 31.7 ± 2.04 of 12 to 48 possible scores. About Activities of Daily Living results showed 99.5% and 84.7% of the samples needed help with many of these activities respectively. The mean score of quality of life was significantly different based on sex (p < 0.018) and instrumental activity of daily living (p < 0.0001). A logistic regression model was used to determine the factors related to quality of life. The final model showed cross-clamp duration (OR = 0.33,p = 0.014), length of stay(LOS)in the intensive care unit(OR = 0.42,p = 0.05), and instrumental activities of daily living (OR = 0.08,p = 0.001) predicted patients' quality of life one year after coronary artery bypass grafting. CONCLUSION Although more than half of the samples had a good average quality of life score, due to the lack of definitive treatment for coronary artery disease, it is suggested to consider predictive variables to help plan to improve the quality of life of these patients.

Brain Behav 2020; 10:e01750. [PMID: 32681544 PMCID: PMC7507551 DOI: 10.1002/brb3.1750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2020] [Revised: 06/17/2020] [Accepted: 06/19/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common consequence of coronary artery bypass grafting. However, domain-specific associations between postoperative changes and long-term performance are poorly known. The aim of this study was to investigate whether domain-specific cognitive changes after cardiac surgery predict long-term cognitive outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS We assessed 100 patients (86 men, mean age 60) before coronary artery bypass grafting, with re-examinations after one week, three months, and a mean of 6.7 years. The extensive neuropsychological test battery was organized into seven functional cognitive domains. Cognitive decline and improvement were defined with the reliable change index derived from 17 matching healthy controls. Analyses were adjusted for baseline cognitive performance, age, gender, education and cardiovascular risks factors. RESULTS On group level, one week after surgery 71% patients showed cognitive decline and 9% improvement in any functional domain, as compared to preoperative results. Three months postsurgery, decline was observed in 47% and improvement in 25% of patients. Executive functioning was the most sensitive domain to both decline and improvement. Postoperative dysfunction predicted long-term cognitive deterioration six years after operation, particularly in the domain of executive functioning. CONCLUSIONS POCD after coronary artery bypass grafting is an essential risk factor for long-term deterioration and an indication for neuropsychological follow-up. Assessment of change in executive functioning after coronary artery bypass grafting may help to identify patients at risk for unfavorable long-term outcome.

Abstract
Patients with cardiac dysfunction are at increased risk of mild cognitive impairment, which can affect their ability to successfully engage in daily activities important for home and community safety and in maintaining health and well-being. This risk increases in accordance with the number of cardiac conditions and cardiovascular risk factors or comorbidities. Occupational therapy has a role in chronic disease management in assessing and improving functional abilities affected by physical, emotional, and cognitive domains. With a holistic and client-centered approach, occupational therapy can complement lifestyle medicine principles through promotion and enablement of engagement in purposeful activity and self-management practices. It is suggested that the clinical management of patients with cardiac dysfunction expands beyond the traditional physical aspects of care to encompass cognitive considerations and incorporate occupational therapy in practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine whether preoperative biomedical risk and depressive symptoms were associated with physical and mental components of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients 1year after cardiac surgery. METHOD Seventy-five patients completed a psychological evaluation, including the Center for Epidemiological Study of Depression scale, the 12-item Short-Form Physical Component Scale (SF-12-PCS) and Mental Component Scale (SF-12-MCS), the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living questionnaire for depressive symptoms and HRQoL, respectively, before surgery and at 1-year follow-up. RESULTS Preoperative depressive symptoms predicted the SF-12-PCS (beta=-.22, P<.05) and SF-12-MCS (beta=-.30, P<.04) scores in patients 1year after cardiac surgery, whereas the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation was associated with SF-12-PCS (beta=-.28, P<.02), but not SF-12-MCS (beta=.01, P=.97) scores postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS The current findings showed that preoperative depressive symptoms are associated with poor physical and mental components of HRQoL, whereas high biomedical risk predicts reduced physical, but not mental, functioning in patients postoperatively. This study suggests that a preoperative assessment of depressive symptoms in addition to the evaluation of common biomedical risk factors is essential to anticipate which patients are likely to show poor HRQoL after cardiac surgery.

Depression is associated with increased vagal withdrawal during unpleasant emotional imagery after cardiac surgery. Auton Neurosci 2015; 189:75-82.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to examine the influence of depression on heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV) during emotional imagery in patients after cardiac surgery. METHODS Based on the scores of the Center for Epidemiological Studies of Depression (CES-D) scale, 28 patients after cardiac surgery were assigned either to the group with depression (CES-D scores ≥ 16; N = 14) or the one without depression (CES-D scores<16; N = 14). Each patient completed a rest period and an emotional imagery including pleasant, neutral and unpleasant scripts. Inter-beat intervals (IBIs) and HRV were measured during the entire protocol. RESULTS Compared to nondepressed patients, those with depression had greater reductions in high frequency expressed in normalized units (HF n.u.) during the imaging of the unpleasant script (p = .003, Cohen's d = 1.34). Moreover, HF n.u. were lower during the imaging of the unpleasant script than the pleasant one in depressed patients only (p = .020, Cohen's d = 0.55). CES-D scores were also inversely correlated with residualized changes in IBIs (r = -.38, p = .045) and HF n.u. (r = -.49, p = .008) from rest to the imaging of the unpleasant script. CONCLUSIONS The relationship between depression and increased vagal withdrawal during unpleasant emotional imagery extends to patients after cardiac surgery. The present study suggests that increased vagal withdrawal to negative emotions in patients after cardiac surgery may mediate the conferral of cardiac risk by depression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine whether preexisting cognitive status rather than short- and middle-term postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) may differentially account for behavioral functional capacity 3 months after cardiac surgery. METHOD Seventy-nine patients completed a psychological evaluation, including the Trail Making Test Part B, the memory with 10-s interference, the phonemic fluency and the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) questionnaire for cognitive functions and behavioral functional capacity, respectively, before surgery, at discharge and at 3-month follow-up. RESULTS Thirty-one (39%) and 22 (28%) patients showed POCD at discharge and at 3-month follow-up, respectively. Preoperative cognitive status was significantly associated with change in behavioral functional capacity 3 months after surgery (Ps<.003), whereas short- and middle-term POCD and intraoperative risk factors were unrelated to residualized change in IADLs scores (all Ps>.095). CONCLUSIONS Preexisting cognitive deficit, especially working memory deficit, rather than short- and middle-term POCD related to intraoperative risk factors is associated with poor behavioral functional capacity 3 months after cardiac surgery. The present study therefore suggests that a preoperative cognitive evaluation is essential to anticipate which patients are likely to show a decline in behavioral functional capacity after cardiac surgery.

Depression and reduced heart rate variability after cardiac surgery: the mediating role of emotion regulation. Auton Neurosci 2013; 180:53-8.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart rate variability (HRV), as an index of autonomic nervous system (ANS) functioning, is reduced by depression after cardiac surgery, but the underlying mechanisms of this relationship are poorly understood. Poor emotion regulation as a core symptom of depression has also been associated with altered ANS functioning. The present study aimed to examine whether emotion dysregulation could be a mediator of the depression-reduced HRV relationship observed after cardiac surgery. METHODS Self-reported emotion regulation and four-minute HRV were measured in 25 depressed and 43 nondepressed patients after cardiac surgery. Mediation analysis was conducted to evaluate emotion regulation as a mediator of the depression-reduced HRV relationship. RESULTS Compared to nondepressed patients, those with depression showed lower standard deviation of normal-to-normal (NN) intervals (p<.05), root mean square successive difference of NN intervals (p<.004), and number of interval differences of successive NN intervals greater than 50ms (NN50) (p<.05). Increased low frequency (LF) in normalized units (n.u.) and reduced high frequency (HF) n.u. were also found in depressed compared to nondepressed patients (p's<.01). Mediation analysis revealed that suppression of emotion-expressive behavior partially mediated the effect of depression on LF n.u. and HF n.u. CONCLUSIONS Results confirmed previous findings showing that depression is associated with reduced HRV, especially a reduced vagal tone and a sympathovagal imbalance, after cardiac surgery. This study also provides preliminary evidence that increased trait levels of suppression of emotion-expressive behavior may mediate the depression-related sympathovagal imbalance after cardiac surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine whether preoperative psychological dysfunctions rather than intraoperative factors may differentially predict short- and long-term postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) in patients after cardiac surgery. METHOD Forty-two patients completed a psychological evaluation, including the Trail Making Test Part A and B (TMT-A/B), the memory with 10/30-s interference, the phonemic verbal fluency and the Center for Epidemiological Studies of Depression (CES-D) scale for cognitive functions and depressive symptoms, respectively, before surgery, at discharge and at 18-month follow-up. RESULTS Ten (24%) and 11 (26%) patients showed POCD at discharge and at 18-month follow-up, respectively. The duration of cardiopulmonary bypass significantly predicted short-term POCD [odds ratio (OR)=1.04, P<.05], whereas preoperative psychological factors were unrelated to cognitive decline at discharge. Conversely, long-term cognitive decline after cardiac surgery was significantly predicted by preoperative scores in the CES-D (OR=1.26, P<.03) but not by intraoperative variables (all Ps >.23). CONCLUSIONS Our findings showed that preexisting depressive symptoms rather than perioperative risk factors are associated with cognitive decline 18 months after cardiac surgery. This study suggests that a preoperative psychological evaluation of depressive symptoms is essential to anticipate which patients are likely to show long-term cognitive decline after cardiac surgery.
