Background: Previous reports of pharmacological treatment concerning the surgical approach to coronary artery disease emphasise the underused possibilities of pharmacological treatment. Aim: To evaluate trends in the level of compliance between the pharmacological treatment administered in clinical practice and formal guidelines in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: For this retrospective study, medical data from 2827 consecutive patients treated in a single cardiac surgery centre from 2004 to 2008 were collected. Among them, 1253 underwent surgical procedures as isolated CABG and were enrolled in the study. The pharmacological treatment was analysed at two points of the perioperative period: the day of adm...
