Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Other illness
- Uncontrolled hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias or any unstable cardiovascular complication that was an absolute contraindication to participate in clinical exercise program.
- Severe pre-existing pulmonary conditions such as COPD or Asthma that could interfere with exercise capacity.
- Severe orthopedic limitations such as arthritis, recent fractures and sternal site infections post-surgery.
- Neurological complications, including stroke, severe neuropathy, balance and coordination abnormalities that could impede physical performance.
Other
- Cognitive impairments that may possibly affect the ability to understand and follow the exercise protocols.
- Participation in some other structured rehabilitation program within the past month.
Who the study is looking for
- • Adult CABG surgery candidates aged between 35 and 65 years who underwent uncomplicated CABG surgery within past 3-6 months.
- No history of pre-existing pulmonary disease.
- Clinically stable cardiac status and approval for participation in phase-II cardiac rehabilitation from the cardiac surgeon.
- Patients that presented with the symptoms of mild to moderate levels of paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea (PND). (38)
- Willingness and availability to participate in the phase-II cardiac rehabilitation program for the study duration.
- Physical ability to perform both upper and lower limb strength training exercise.
- Absence of pre-existing severe orthopedic limitations that could interfere with the exercise performance.
