| description | Abstract Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) have more than twofold risk of sexual dysfunction compared with age-matched healthy persons. Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery benefits in CAD populations are well established. Erectile dysfunction (ED) in men and arousal difficulties in women are highly prevalent in CAD, yet it is frequently under-recognized and under-diagnosed in clinical practice. A further study on the relation between CABG and sexual functioning is not much explored, hence the need for the study. Materials and Method: It is a cross-sectional study conducted in JSS Hospital, Mysuru, Karnataka. A total of 54 consecutive patients who have undergone CABG were considered. Informed and written consent was taken. After stabilization and thorough checkup by the attending cardiologist, interview was conducted. The patients were assessed on a structured and validated pro forma, for males International Index for Erectile Function (IIEF) and for females Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) were used. ANOVA and Student’s t test, statistical software SAS 9.2, SPSS 15.0, Stata 10.1, MedCalc 9.0.1, Systat 12.0, and R environment ver.2.11.1 were used for statistical analysis. Results: Of the 54 study subjects, in males, 69.4% had mild to moderate ED, 52.8% had mild orgasmic dysfunction, 44.4% had moderate desire dysfunction, 50% had mild to moderate dysfunction of intercourse satisfaction, and 44.4% had mild to moderate and moderate dysfunction in overall satisfaction. In females, one or the other forms of sexual dysfunction were present in all the female study subjects; among them, 66.7% had arousal difficulties, 44.4% had lubrication, orgasm, and satisfaction problems and pain difficulties. Conclusion: The results obtained in this study showed an increased prevalence rate of sexual dysfunction in patients who have undergone CABG. Hence addressing the concerned issues during the stay in the hospital is necessary for the better outcomes. |
