It is well established that, in patients with increased cholesterol concentrations and vascular disease, decreasing the cholesterol concentration significantly reduces the risk of coronary events. After coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), the risk of further coronary events is likely to be reduced if there is effective control of cholesterol concentrations. The aim of the survey was to review awareness among general practitioners and patients of the need for maintenance of serum cholesterol values, frequency of serum cholesterol checks, dietary advice and lipid-decreasing medication in patients after CABG.
