Why the study?
Does a supine recovery position improve heart rate recovery and rate pressure product compared to a sitting position following submaximal exercise in patients undergoing CABG?
Population
36 male patients in normal sinus rhythm undergoing elective Off Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery.
Comparison
Supine lying position during recovery following… vs 90° upright sitting position on a chair with…
Design
RCT, Randomly assigned to two groups in a repeated cross-over design.
Follow-up
7 days postoperatively

Favors supine over sitting recovery to improve HRR and lower RPP post-CABG exercise; extends RCT evidence for positional interventions in cardiac rehab.
Does a supine recovery position improve heart rate recovery and rate pressure product compared to a sitting position following submaximal exercise in patients undergoing CABG?
In patients recovering from CABG, assuming a supine position rather than sitting after submaximal exercise improves heart rate recovery and reduces myocardial oxygen consumption.
