    Summary: This book focuses on the management of hematological cancer and provides guidance on the management issues specific to older patients, spanning background and epidemiology, special considerations in the management of older people, therapeutics and psychosocial considerations. Management of Hematological Cancers in Older People aims to provide an up-to-date review of the literature in each of the major areas relating to the management of older hematological cancer patients, and makes recommendations for best practice and future research. The authors come from a broad geographic spread including the UK, mainland Europe and North America to ensure a worldwide relevance. Management of Hematological Cancers in Older People will appeal to surgical oncologists, medical oncologists and other members of the multidisciplinary team.

    Clinical and angiographic features were identified that influences early mortality in 807 patients who underwent aortocoronary bypass grafting alone among the first 1000 consecutive patients subjected to aortocoronary bypass operations at the Montreal Heart Institute. The early mortality was 4.7% and was related to the patient's age, the duration of the illness from its first clinical manifestation, certain types of clinical presentation, electrocardiographic findings, the number of obstructed arteries and the ejection fraction. The influence of the number of obstructed arteries appeared to be independent of other factors, including the number of grafts and the degree of correction. Early mortality was not influenced by risk factors such as lipid abnormalities, hypertension or diabetes, by the history of previous myocardial infarction or the number of grafts.
