The employment status of 100 consecutive male patients between the ages of 30 and 60 years (mean, 49.5 years) operated on for angina and followed for a minimum of 5 years was analyzed. There were no early and 4 late deaths. The probability of employment at 1 year was 90%, which was similar to that of a sample from the general population matched for age. This rate, however, showed steady, slow deterioration to 87.6% at 2 years, 82.1% at 3 years, 75.7% at 4 years, and 73.4% at 5 years. Seventeen patients retired over the 5-year period. There was no correlation between the rate of employment and age (under or over 50) at operation, previous myocardial infarction, or number of grafts inserted.
