Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) is considered as one of the best markers to assess the glycaemia treatment over a period of 3 to 4 months, and is considered as predictive marker for perioperative mortality and morbidity. The impact of the elevated HbA1c on the risk of perioperative major cardiovascular events in patients undergoing coronary bypass revascularization (by retrospective analysis of perioperative cardiovascular events and preoperative HbA1c) is evaluated.
