Key result
A 3-week inpatient and 6-month outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program improved peak ventilatory exchange (44.52 to 52.56 L/min; P<0.05) and functional capacity in patients post-CABG.

Cardiac rehab may improve post-CABG capacity; leaves open confirmation by randomized trials on outcomes.
Observational (n=54)
Does a 3-week inpatient and 6-month outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program improve cardiopulmonary exercise testing parameters in patients post-CABG for MI?
Absolute Event Rate: 52.56% vs 44.52%
p-value: p=<0.05
Inpatient and outpatient cardiac rehabilitation after CABG for MI is safe and significantly improves functional capacity as measured by cardiopulmonary exercise testing.
Spiroski et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Myocardial infarction treated with CABG surgery (n=54). Inpatient and outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program vs. Baseline (pre-rehabilitation) was evaluated on Peak ventilatory exchange (p=<0.05). A 3-week inpatient and 6-month outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program improved peak ventilatory exchange (44.52 to 52.56 L/min; P<0.05) and functional capacity in patients post-CABG.
