Background and Aims: The aim of the present study is to investigate whether the clinical characteristics of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery (CAGB) differ by sex. Methods: This study was performed with a total of 58 patients who underwent CABG. The age, weight, height, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, HbA1c, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and total cholesterol values together with the demographic characteristics of patients undergoing CABG were collected and compared between male and female patients. Results: In the present study, 71% of patients undergoing CABG were men and 29% of them were women. There was no significant difference in weight, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, HbA1c, and total cholesterol values between male and female patients. Body mass index, LDL and HDL levels, the ratios of LDL/total cholesterol and HDL/total cholesterol were higher while height was lower in females compared to male patients. Conclusion: Our study highlights the need for sex-specific approaches in the prevention of coronary artery diseases. Risk factors including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia influence the outcome of death in patients undergoing CABG. Correct management of controllable risk factors with the focus on gender differences could be beneficial in reducing mortality and morbidity rates by altering the prognosis of coronary artery diseases.
