1 The influence of gender on the outcome of coronary artery bypass surgery 
Dan Abramov, MD, Miguel G Tamariz, MD, Jeri Y Sever, George T Christakis, MD, Gopal Bhatnagar, MD, Amie L Heenan, Bernard S Goldman, MD, Stephen E Fremes, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 70, Issue 3, Pages (September 2000) DOI: /S (00)

2 Fig 1 Percentage of female patients undergoing CABG surgery, expressed as a percentage of total CABG cases per year. Over the past decade, the relative number of women undergoing the procedure has increase progressively. (CABG = coronary artery bypass graft) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (00) )

3 Fig 2 Percentage of male or female patients older then 70 years undergoing CABG. For each of the later years of the study, approximately 35% of female patients were elderly, compared with less then 25% of men. (CABG, coronary artery bypass graft) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (00) )

4 Fig 3 Comparison of female and male study patients’ body surface area. Female patients were significantly smaller then male patients, according to body surface area calculations. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (00) )

5 Fig 4 Recurrent angina, depicted in an actuarial manner, was more frequent in the female than in the male cohort. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (00) )

6 Fig 5 Actuarial survival of female patients was nonsignificantly greater than male patients 5 years postoperatively. Both early and late deaths were included in the calculations. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (00) )

7 Fig 6 Freedom from death or myocardial infarction (including early and late death or myocardial infarction) was nonsignificantly greater in men at 5 years following surgery. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (00) )
