Study Arms (2)

High-Fit obese

Cardiac surgery patients will be segregated into the high-fit group based on 6 minute walk test distance and other measures of functional capacity

Procedure: cardiac surgery

Low-Fit obese

Cardiac surgery patients will be segregated into the low-fit group based on 6 minute walk test distance and other measures of functional capacity

Procedure: cardiac surgery

Interventions

cardiac surgery including non-emergency, elective coronary artery bypass grafting surgery with or without valve surgery, aortic or mitral valve surgery

High-Fit obeseLow-Fit obese

Eligibility Criteria

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

All patients scheduled to undergo elective, first-time cardiac surgery will be considered for eligibility to participate in the study. As well, a patient whose BMI is less than 18.5 kg/m2 and classified as underweight by the World Health Organization will be excluded. Only those patients who are classified as being normal weight range or overweight and/or obese may be considered for eligibility to participate as defined by the study objectives regarding post-operative cardiac surgery outcomes in obese patients. Patients in the normal weight range classification will be included as a baseline control participant cohort. Finally, patients over the age of 75 will be excluded so as to eliminate the role that advanced age may play in affecting functional capacity.

You may qualify if:

  • · Provide informed consent
  • Male or female patients who are \> 18 years of age
  • Patients must be scheduled to undergo elective, first-time cardiac surgery during routine scheduling times

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients who are \> 75 years of age
  • BMI is less than 18.5 kg/m2 and classified as underweight according to the World Health Organization
  • Any non-elective first time cardiac surgery patient (eg. in-house urgent patients; emergent patients)
  • Any cardiac patients to undergo re-operation
  • Simultaneous participation in another study with an investigational study agent
