Nasrawi et al. (2025) conducted an observational in Post-coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery (n=10). Postoperative care pathway with phase 1 cardiac rehabilitation was evaluated on Description of postoperative care pathway and phase 1 CR delivery (clinical care, timing, delivery mode, education content).
