THE EFFECT OF OBESITY ON CARDIAC REHABILITATION IN PATIENTS WHO HAVE UNDERGONE CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT SURGERY (CABG) AT NATIONAL HOSPITAL OF SRI LANKA (NHSL)
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PURE MEDICAL RESEARCH - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a most prevalent noncommunicable disease in Sri Lank. Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG) is a main revascularization procedure in CAD. Cardiac rehabilitation is a signicant component of post-operative management of CABG. Obesity is considered as a modiable risk factor for CAD. This was a prospective analytical study conducted using 100 patients from both genders between 40-70 years after CABG surgery from the cardiac rehabilitation program. Data collection was conducted on the rst day and the nal day of cardiac rehabilitation Phase II (CRP II).There were 33% obese and 67% non-obese. Both groups demonstrated a statistically signicant improvement (P <0.0001) after CRPII. But a statistically signicant difference (P= 0.02) was founded only in the improvement of cardiovascular endurance in the non-obese group compared to the obese group. So non-obese patients showed a better improvement in cardiovascular endurance compared to the obese patients after CRPII.
