Factors associated with mortality and morbidity following coronary artery bypass graft surgery have been well defined and the Parsonnet score is widely used in mortality prediction. The evaluation of quality of life has not been still implemented in everyday work and preoperative echocardiographic factors affecting the quality of life in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery have been poorly documented. The aim of this study was to evaluate echocardiographic parameters influencing quality of life following coronary artery bypass graft surgery and its correlation with widely used Parsonnet score.
