Højskov et al. (2017) conducted an RCT in Coronary artery bypass grafting (n=326). Early comprehensive rehabilitation vs. Usual care alone was evaluated on Physical function measured by the 6-min walk test. The SheppHeartCABG trial is a protocol for a randomized clinical trial that will evaluate a 4-week early comprehensive rehabilitation program versus usual care in 326 patients undergoing CABG.
