An interesting paper on the social gradient in recovery from heart bypass
surgery below:
F C Taylor, R Ascione, K Rees, P Narayan and G D Angelini (2003)
Socioeconomic deprivation is a predictor of poor postoperative
cardiovascular outcomes in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass.
Heart 2003;89:1062-1066
Conclusion: Patients undergoing CABG living in areas with high deprivation
scores are younger, have more clinical risk factors, and experience more
postoperative cardiovascular complications than patients living in low
deprivation score areas.
