ABSTRACT
Background & Objective: Cardiovascular diseases are an important public health problem worldwide nowadays and it is a leading cause of death, cause of disability. CABG is performed as an effective treatment in different scenarios of CAD and aims to improve survival. The aim of the study was to assess the effects of treadmill and cycle ergometer exercise training on the hemodynamic responses of the post CABG surgery patient during immediate post- operative days.
Method: 53 patients aged between 40 to 75 years who underwent CABG surgery 5 days ago were selected. The ETT was performed before the discharge on the 5th day, and the outcome of vitals was documented. After discharge the patients were informed to visit the CVPRC department of “Shree B D Mehta Mahavir Heart Institute” for 3 sessions within 10 days. Each session consisted of warm up exercises and treadmill walking and cycle ergometer supervised by professionals. The pre and post vitals-SBP, DBP, HR and SpO2 were measured during each session.
Conclusion: After CABG surgery, during immediate post- operative days , the treadmill and cycle ergometer exercise training shows significant changes in patient’s response of DBP and SpO2 while, SBP and HR showing no significant changes.
