Description
Objective
To compare models of the postoperative hospital treatment phase after myocardial revascularization.
Design
A pilot randomized controlled trial.
Setting
Hospital patients in a hospital setting.
Subjects
Thirty-two patients with indications for myocardial revascularization were included between January 2008 and December 2009, with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50%, 1-second forced expiratory volume (FEV1) ≥60 and forced vital capacity (FVC) ≥60% of predicted value.
Interventions
Patients were randomly placed into two groups: one performed prescribed exercises according to the model proposed by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the other according to a periodized model.
Main measures
Partial pressure of O2 (Po2) and arterial O2 saturation (Sao2), percentage of predicted FVC and total distance on the six-minute walking test (6MWT).
Results
Twenty-seven patients …
