Abstract
The effect of increased body mass index (BMI) on survival following open heart surgery is unclear. We explored the relationship between BMI, survival following elective open heart surgery, and health-related quality of life. Our results suggest that increased BMI need not be a deterrent for undergoing open heart surgery. Patients with increased BMI can expect similar complication rates, significant gains in health-related quality of life at 1 year, and comparable intermediate survival.
