Key result
Hybrid cardiac rehabilitation was as effective as a hospital-based program in reducing chest pain intensity and discomfort in cardiac surgery patients, with no significant differences between the groups (P > 0.05).

Hybrid cardiac rehabilitation may offer a practical alternative for post-surgical chest pain; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
Saeidi et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Cardiac surgery (CABG or valve replacement) (n=110). Hybrid cardiac rehabilitation vs. Hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation (26 sessions over 8 weeks) was evaluated on Chest pain intensity (Brief Pain Inventory) (p=>0.05). Hybrid cardiac rehabilitation was as effective as a hospital-based program in reducing chest pain intensity and discomfort in cardiac surgery patients, with no significant differences between the groups (P > 0.05).
