Effects of a 12-week exercise-based program on the quality of life among myocardial revascularization subjects with normal and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction

Background/Aims/: Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation is an effective and safe therapy to be used in the management of clinically stable patients following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Objectives: To determine if a 12-week physical exercise program (12-WPEP), after PCI or CABG with different left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) might improve the health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Methods: A prospective, controlled before-after study was conducted in a cardiac rehabilitation service with a 12-WPEP. Each session had a duration between 40 to 60 minutes, three times per week. Before and after a 12-WPEP was evaluated HRQOL using the SF-36 questionnaire. Results: The 12-WPEP improve the HRQOL but did not show differences among PCI (31 subjects) compared to CABG (18 subjects), regardless of whether the LVEF was normal or reduced (p<0.005). Conclusion: 12-WPEP improved HRQOL in both PCI and CABG subjects regardless of LVEF.
