Abstract: However, aging is not equivalent to a disease, but the majority of elderly patients are affected by chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases. Since coronary artery bypass grafting surgery is as one of the main ways to treat of elderly. This study was conducted to identify changesof hemodynamic parameters of elderly patients after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. This study is a descriptive-comparative study that was performed on 120 elderly patients who had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting surgery in hospitals of Tehran by available sampling method. Hemodynamic parameters (Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP), Pulse Pressure (PP), Heartrate (HR)) were measured two days before the surgery in the morning and evening and the third and fourth days after surgery in the morning and evening. To analyze the data was used of twentieth version of SPSS 20 Software. The average age of research participants was 66/50 (± 5/79) years old and the majority were male (78/3%). SBP, DBP, MAP have been statistically significant decrease in the third and fourth days (p = 0/05) after the surgery compared to before surgery. The PP has been a significant increase on the third day but on the fourth day has not been significant difference compared to before surgery (p = 0/502). HR has been statistically significant increases in the third and fourth day after surgery. Hemodynamic parameters (SBP, DBP, PP, MAP, HR) in elderly patients after of coronary artery surgery compared to before surgery have significant changes. These changes are not only related to the acute period and paying attention to these changes is very important even after the acute period of coronary artery bypass surgery as much as period of immediately after surgery, especially in older people who are more suffering underlying medical conditions.
