Early mobilization may blunt exaggerated exercise tachycardia after surgery and bed rest; extends observations in men but should not yet change practice.
Does surgical operation and bed rest affect cardiovascular responses to exercise in male hospital patients?
Surgical operation and bed rest lead to an enhanced heart rate response during exercise in male hospital patients, which is reversible with early ambulation or physiotherapy.
Bassey et al. (1973) studied this question. Surgical operation and bed rest caused an enhanced increase in heart rate during exercise in male hospital patients, which could be reversed by ambulation or physiotherapy.
