Key result
One year after CABG for stable angina, mean physical activity increased significantly for both women (2.7±1.02) and men (3.2±1.06), though high preoperative activity predicted worse follow-up activity.
Why the study?
Does physical activity improve differently in men versus women one year after isolated primary CABG for stable angina?
Population
568 patients (466 men and 102 women) undergoing an isolated primary CABG for stable angina (NYHA<4)

Activity increases similarly after CABG in men and women; hypothesis-generating for preoperative activity as predictor of follow-up levels.

Does physical activity improve differently in men versus women one year after isolated primary CABG for stable angina?
Absolute Event Rate: 2.7% vs 3.2%
p-value: p=0.000
Physical activity significantly improves for both men and women one year after CABG, though patients with high preoperative physical activity and men with specific comorbidities (diabetes, vascular, and pulmonary disease) are less likely to improve.
Markou et al. (2007) conducted a cohort in Stable angina (n=568). Female gender vs. Male gender was evaluated on Mean physical activity level at 1 year (scale 1-5) (p=0.000). One year after CABG for stable angina, mean physical activity increased significantly for both women (2.7±1.02) and men (3.2±1.06), though high preoperative activity predicted worse follow-up activity.
