from CABG due to atheroembolisms that become dislodged from the proximal aorta
during the procedure
✔✔Cognitive changes
Chapter 2: Contemporary Revascularization Procedure - ✔✔may be a complication
from CABG due to intraoperative hypotension and inadequate cerebral perfusion and
use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)

infections
✔✔Risk factors for mediastinitis:
Chapter 2: Contemporary Revascularization Procedure - ✔✔obesity, diabetes, and/or
previous CABG
✔✔sternal nonunion
Chapter 2: Contemporary Revascularization Procedure - ✔✔Patients who have
undergone CABG should be evaluated for _________ if they continue to have sternal
pain outside the normal window for sternal precautions and caution should be used
when considering resistance training in cardiac rehab
✔✔What arrhythmia occurs in 1/3 of post CABG patients?
, Chapter 2: Contemporary Revascularization Procedure - ✔✔A-fib

atria
Chapter 2: Contemporary Revascularization Procedure - ✔✔A-fib
✔✔2 main problems cause by A-fib in regards to exercise
Chapter 2: Contemporary Revascularization Procedure - ✔✔1) rapid baseline HRs 2)
HR response to exercise is exaggerated making specific THR difficult
