Return to work after coronary artery bypass surgery. 1988

P J Walter
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, University Hospital of Antwerp, Belgium.

From these studies it can be concluded that the rate of return to work after coronary artery bypass surgery could be increased because a relatively high percentage of patients not employed postoperatively are functionally improved. Reduction of the length of preoperative unemployment and better cooperation between cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, rehabilitation physicians and general practitioners might improve the rate of return to work and probably also the quality of life.
