Why the study?
To determine the efficacy of home-based versus centre-based cardiac rehabilitation in improving functional capacity and left ventricular ejection fraction in patients who underwent CABG surgery.
Does home-based cardiac rehabilitation improve functional capacity and LVEF as effectively as centre-based cardiac rehabilitation in CABG patients?
Population

Home-based CR may match centre-based efficacy post-CABG; leaves open confirmation by randomized trials before practice change.
Does home-based cardiac rehabilitation improve functional capacity and LVEF as effectively as centre-based cardiac rehabilitation in CABG patients?
Home-based cardiac rehabilitation is as effective as centre-based rehabilitation in improving functional capacity and LVEF in patients after CABG surgery.
