Description
Background Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for Canadians (Statistics Canada, 2007). At a cost of more than 18 billion dollars a year, caring for patients afflicted with cardiovascular disease far outweighs the cost of most other illnesses (Health Canada, 1998; Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada, 2002). Coronary artery disease, the most common cardiovascular illness, results from a progressive blocking of the coronary arteries by atherosclerotic plaque. Although recent pharmacologic and technological advances have reduced the need for cardiac surgery, the number of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgeries continues to increase each year (Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada, 2003).
