Abstract

Background: The effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in Vietnam has not been fully studied. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a 6-week cardiac rehabilitation program in patients post-CABG. Materials and methods:A controlled clinical intervention study in post-CABG patients from the Heart Institute, transferred to the Ho Chi Minh City Hospital Of Rehabilitation And Occupational Disease. Results: Among 66 post-CABG patients, the majority were over 60 years old, with males predominating (75.7%). After 6 weeks of CR, exercise capacity significantly improved, with a 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) increase of 144.4 ± 9.1m (48.8%), MET increase of 1.2 ± 0.1, and Peak VO₂ increase of 310.7 ± 24.5 ml/min. These differences were statistically significant (p < 0.001) compared to the control group. Conclusions:  A 6-week cardiac rehabilitation program significantly enhances exercise capacity, MET, Peak VO₂, and quality of life in post-CABG patients.
