Key result
Comprehensive cardiac rehab is linked to improved functional capacity and reduced dyspnea post-CABG in one patient.
Why the study?
Effective rehabilitation programs are crucial to the success of CABG surgery beyond restoring blood circulation, but optimal postoperative strategies need clarification.
Does a comprehensive rehabilitation program improve functional status and quality of life in a patient undergoing CABG?

Suggests post-CABG benefit in one case; leaves open generalizability pending controlled trials.
Nangliya et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Coronary artery disease post-CABG (n=1). Cardiac rehabilitation was evaluated on Functional status and symptom improvement (mMRC, VAS, Incentive Spirometry). A comprehensive postoperative cardiac rehabilitation program improved functional capacity, reduced dyspnea (mMRC Grade 3 to 0), and decreased pain (VAS 8/10 to 3/10) in a 59-year-old male following CABG surgery.
