Key result
Bypass surgery was associated with less initial mood disturbance and greater gains in exercise tolerance during a 6-week rehabilitation program compared to medical management in coronary patients.

Do surgically treated coronary patients differ from medically treated patients in mood and physical performance during a cardiovascular rehabilitation program?
Surgically treated coronary patients experience different psychological and physical trajectories during early cardiac rehabilitation compared to medically managed patients, with surgical patients showing greater physical gains and medical patients showing greater mood improvements.
Paul H. Soloff (1979) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery disease. Surgical treatment (bypass surgery) vs. Medical management was evaluated on Mood and physical performance (exercise tolerance). Bypass surgery was associated with less initial mood disturbance and greater gains in exercise tolerance during a 6-week rehabilitation program compared to medical management in coronary patients.
