I am a 65 year-old-man about to undergo heart surgery and my wife is worrying me about the safety considering I am much older now than when I received my last surgery. How does age affect safety in surgery?

65 is young. I am 77 and I underwent bypass surgery. It depends on your overall health. You can be younger and out of shape and older and really healthy
