ABSTRACT

CABG is most common type of heart surgery. Cardiac Rehabilitation following CABG surgery aims to minimize post- operative pulmonary complications. Quality of life (QOL) and exercise tolerance are important factor in the prognosis of CABG as well as to evaluate effects of different interventions in cardiovascular diseases. 30 samples of both male and female between ages 50 to 80 years who fulfil inclusion criteria were selected randomly for this study. All subjects were undergone Pre and Post 6MWT & evaluated with Pre and Post QOL SF-12 Patient Questionnaire to evaluate the effect of CR Post CABG on Exercise tolerance and QOL. The data was evaluated by statistical analysis which showed there is a significant improvement in exercise tolerance as well as QOL in Patient with CABG after Applying Cardiac rehabilitation exercises.
