A study was conducted to determine the factors which may predict the successful outcome of rehabilitation in patients who had undergone coronary artery bypass surgery.Rehabilitation was considered successful if the patient experienced an improved quality of life and had accepted the responsibility for his/her own rehabilitation.Ten patients who had undergone coronary artery bypass surgery one year ago, were selected from the Cardiac Rehabilitation Unit of the Johannesburg Health and Housing Department.The outcome of rehabilitation was determined in these ten patients by judging their improvement in quality of life and their acceptance of self-responsibility.This was done by administering a questionnaire to the patients and their spouses which covered aspects of compliance to a programme to modify risk factors, the patients' ability to manage stress, their fitness and obesity profiles and their exercise habits.From this study the authors concluded that the acceptance of self-responsibility for rehabilitation is an important factor in the outcome of successful rehabilitation.

A study was conducted to determine the outcome of Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery in terms of patients’ improved quality of life one year after the intervention. Quality of life was assessed in terms of return to work, absence of angina and increased activity. The analysis of the variables identified on admission between two groups (those who had an improved quality of life and those who did not have an improved quality of life) are presented. Patients with improved quality of life were married (p=0.02), men (p=0.01), with an income >R50,000 p/a (p=0.03), reported a normal sex-life prior to hospital admission (p=0.04), were taller (p=0.01), spent more hours at school participating in sporting activities (p=0.04) and had carried on with sport for more years prior to the surgery (p=0.01). There were no significant differences in weight or body mass index between the two groups.
