The most and least common comorbidities were hypertension (62.6%) and renal failure (2.6%). But in male patients, the most and least common risk factors were smoking (63.6%) and renal failure (3.3%) respectively. Also in female patients, hypertension (80%) and renal failure (2.2%) were the most and least common risk factors. According to high prevalence of hypertension in diabetic patients scheduled for CABG, it is better to control diet in these patients to decrease morbidity and mortality rates.
