Key result
Outpatient CR sees improved cardiologist perception over a 5-year period post-CABG.
Why the study?
The importance of rehabilitation programs after cardiac surgery is well known, but compliance of outpatient cardiologists and patients to these programs after coronary artery bypass grafting requires analysis.
Observational (n=413)
The study highlights the importance of assessing both physician attitudes and patient compliance to improve outpatient cardiac rehabilitation programs after CABG.
Sustained cardiologist support for outpatient rehab may aid referrals; leaves open effects on patient compliance.
The importance and effectiveness of rehabilitation programs after cardiac surgery is undeniable, proven and widely known. At the same time, the patients’ compliance at the outpatient stage is the same relevant and well-known. In our research we analyzed the opinion of 84th cardiologists of the outpatient stage regarding the effectiveness and safety of cardiac rehabilitation programs and assessed the five-year dynamics of the changes in the their attitude to this problem. Convinced of a positive shift in the cardiologists’ perception of cardiac rehabilitation programs after coronary artery bypass grafting, we analyzed the compliance of 329 patients undergone coronary artery bypass grafting to the recommended rehabilitation programs at the outpatient stage. The obtained data were summarized to the further prospects of cardiac rehabilitation development in the outpatient clinic.
