Afollow-up study was conducted to assess the survival of 168 patients who participated in 1995 in a survey study two to twenty months after undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). The patients' survival was examined over a seven-year period following the initial study. The surviving patients did not differ from those who died during the seven-year follow-up period on mean age, gender, family status, or education levels. Active lifestyle, pessimism, and self-reported functional capacity predicted survival at the seven-year end point. The conclusion is that assessments of patients' levels of lifestyle and pessimism may be used in detecting those who are at a greater risk of dying following CABG
