    Summary: A host of neurotransmitters and neuroactive substances underlies respiratory regulation in health and disease. The centerpiece of investigations regarding adaptation to hypoxia and sensorial perception has been the dopaminergic system. It is now clear that a complex interaction among various neuroactive substances, rather than a single one, forms the basis of respiratory changes. The research on neurotransmitter interactions provides the knowledge of how the brain functions and a new level of understanding of mind-to-body connection, which opens up avenues for novel therapeutic interventions.

    Two hundred eighty-two patients who underwent coronary artery bypass operation between January, 1971, and July, 1972, were followed until the time of death or for 5 years after operation. The angina-free status progressively decreased during the period of follow-up but at 5 years 57% of the survivors were free from angina. The total (early and late) incidence of nonfatal myocardial infarction was 3.3 per 100 patient years of follow-up. Nine (3.2%) of the patients had a repeat coronary artery bypass operation within the first 5 postoperative years. The overall 5-year survival was 86.9%. The expected 5-year survival of the general population, matched by sex and age, is 90.7%. Five-year survival was 97% for single-vessel disease, 87% for double-vessel disease, and 85% for triple-vessel disease.
