By hospital discharge, the exercise group presented significantly higher parasympathetic HRV values, global power, non-linear HRV indexes, and mean RR compared to usual care (p<0.05).

Overview

Supports early supervised exercise post-CABG for autonomic recovery; extends RCT evidence for inpatient physiotherapy protocols.

Structured PICO

Does a short-term supervised inpatient physiotherapy exercise protocol improve cardiac autonomic function in patients post-CABG?

P
Population
74 patients eligible for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) (47 completed the study: 24 in exercise group, 23 in usual care group)
I
Intervention
Short-term supervised inpatient physiotherapy exercise protocol consisting of early mobilisation with progressive exercises plus usual care (respiratory exercises)
C
Comparator
Physiotherapy usual care (respiratory exercises only)
O
Outcome
Cardiac autonomous regulation (CAR) assessed by linear and non-linear measures of heart rate variability (HRV) before hospital dischargesurrogate

Early supervised inpatient physiotherapy exercise post-CABG significantly improves cardiac autonomic regulation by the time of hospital discharge.
