Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a significant worldwide health problem leading to premature death and chronic illness with Coronary heart disease (CHD) accounts for 52% of CVD cases with 16 million cases of CHD in the US. One of the treatment options for those with CHD is Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG). The aim of the surgery is to alleviate symptoms such as angina and breathlessness, prevent further Myocardial Infarctions (MIs) and reduce the progression of CHD.
