What can someone tell me about chf post cabg?

This will all depend as to whether there has been any damage to the heart muscle. ie. have you had a heart attack etc, or was the surgery done because of angina. An echocardiogram will tell your doctor how well the heart is beating.

This medical lingo is an abbreviated version of "congestive heart failure following coronary artery bypass graft".
