Introduction: The optimal time to do exercise in adaptation phase was 36 to 72 hours. Patients with cardiovasculardisease may have an extended adaptation phase to 96 hours and above. It was necessary to know the mosteffective supervised exercise in phase II cardiac rehabilitation between three times/week for 36-hours, and twotimes/week for 96-hours.Method: This study involved 30 patients post-Cardiac Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG) participated in phase IIcardiac rehabilitation at Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung. Subjects divided into two groups; that have done twotimes/week (group 1) and three times/week of the supervised exercised (group 2) for four weeks. The Lowerextremity muscle strength (LEMS) examined by conducting a chair standing test, while functional capacity (FC)evaluated by the 6-minute walking test.Result:Subjects were 58,54±5,90 y.o (group 1) and 61,66±6,36(group 2). The FC and the LEMS before andafter exercise were 10,98 and 15,96 ml/kg(<0,001) on the FC; 7,8 and 12,9 times (<0,001) on the LEMS in group1, besides 9,6 and 14,9 ml/kg(<0,001) on the FC; 8,7 and 13,0 times (<0,001) on group 2,Conclusion. Both groups have increased of the FC and the LEMS after exercise. There were no differencebetween 2 times and 3 times of supervised exercises a week on post CABG pasientsKeywords: coronary artery bypass graft, the frequency of exercise, functional capacity, muscle strength =

Introduction: Thoracic external beam radiation therapy (XRT) for cancer is associated with a multitude of long-term cardiotoxic side effects. Previous studies have suggested worse outcomes in XRT-treated cancer survivors who undergo revascularization with CABG, but sample sizes have been small. In addition, XRT after CABG is thought to portend decreased patency and survival. We aimed to examine outcomes after CABG in patients with XRT compared with to those without XRT. Methods: We identified all patients who were treated with both CABG (between 1999 and 2013) and curative thoracic XRT for cancer (between 1971 and 2013) (>30 Gray). Baseline clinical characteristics and comorbidities at time of CABG, as well as long-term outcomes after CABG and XRT were compared with propensity matched control cohorts. Results: A total of 38 patients underwent CABG following XRT [Group 1] (mean age 67.9, 63% female) and 43 patients underwent XRT after CABG [Group 2] (mean age 69.3, 63% female). Compared with propensity-matched controls (Group 1: n=141; Group 2: n=167), baseline clinical and demographic characteristics between cases and controls were similar in both groups, except a lower incidence of triple vessel disease in XRT cases in Group 2 (64 vs 80%, p=0.02). For Group 1, there was no significant difference in all-cause survival in long-term follow-up after CABG (Fig. 1, p=0.72). Meanwhile, Group 2 cases had significantly higher all-cause mortality following XRT (Fig. 2, p<0.001). Conclusions: Patients previously treated with thoracic XRT who subsequently undergo CABG for coronary artery disease have a similar overall mortality rate compared to patients without prior XRT. This suggests that CABG is an effective method of revascularization in these patients. The higher mortality rates in CABG patients who subsequently develop disease requiring thoracic XRT is likely due to oncologic rather than cardiovascular causes, but more data are necessary to evaluate this finding.

Background After removal of temporary pacemaker wires, nurses measure vital signs frequently to assess for cardiac tamponade; however, evidence for this procedure is limited. Objectives To determine risk factors for cardiac tamponade after temporary pacemaker wire removal. Methods Retrospective review of data for coronary artery bypass graft and valve surgery (N = 23 717) performed from January 1999 to December 2008. Patients were categorized by reason for reoperation: bleeding less than 3 days after initial surgery (n = 812, group 1), bleeding 3 days or more after index surgery but not for cardiac tamponade (n = 171, group 2), bleeding 3 days or more after index surgery for cardiac tamponade after temporary pacemaker wire removal (n = 23, group 3), and no reoperation (n = 22 711, group 4). Results Less than 1% (9.7 cases/10 000) of patients required reoperation for cardiac tamponade after removal of temporary pacer wires. Of patient-related factors studied, only smoking history differed for group 3 vs group 1 (P = .03) and group 2 (P = .01). Of vital sign changes, 1 patient (4%) had tachycardia and 3 patients had cardiac arrest, but only 1 of the 3 had hypotension before the arrest. In total, 12 patients (52%) had hypotension; however, it was mild or intermittent in 5 cases, and did not occur within the 4 hours after wire removal in 3 cases. After removal of temporary pacing wires, common early signs/symptoms were bleeding (26%) and dyspnea (26%). Other documented changes were pressure in the chest, diaphoresis, cold and clammy skin, dizziness, and mental status changes. Conclusions Tamponade related to pacer wire removal was rare and not consistently associated with changes in vital signs. Dyspnea, bleeding, and other factors may indicate early onset of cardiac tamponade after removal of temporary pacer wires.

Abstract Introduction: Low back pain is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders, but little is known about postural methods in its treatment. Objective: Analyze changes in muscle strength, flexibility, function and pain in patients with chronic low back pain that underwent isostretching and global posture reeducation (GPR). Methods: Thirty-nine patients, aged between 40 and 59 years, were evaluated before and after treatment protocols regarding: flexibility for sit and reach, muscle strength, functional capacity using the Rolland-Morris Questionnaire, and intensity of pain by Visual Analog Scale. The sample was randomized into two groups (1-GPR; 2-Isostretching), all of whom were treated individually through 12 sessions lasting 45 minutes each, twice a week. Results: After treatment, median reduction in pain intensity of 28 mm in group 1 and 32 mm in group 2 was observed, and a median improvement in functional capacity in group 1 of 8.5 points and 7 points in group 2 (p < 0,05). A mean improvement of severn repetitions in trunk extensor muscle strength was observed in group 1 and in group 2; by dynamometry of 10 kg / f in group 1 and 12.5 kg / f in group 2 of ten abdominal repetitions strength in group 1 and four repetitions in group 2 (p < 0.05).In the Sit and Reach, Group 1 had a total mean increase of 3cm, and group 2 had 1.6cm (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Both groups were effective in improvement of muscle strength, flexibility, pain and functional capacity.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Purpose. To estimate the effect of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in prevention of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Methods. Studied were 306 patients who underwent CABG. All the patients were divided into two groups depending on the prescription of omega-3 PUFAs in the pre- and postoperative period by randomization method: 1 group comprised 158 patients without PUFAs (82.7% men, median age 63.0 (57.0;67.0) years, 2 group - 148 patients with PUFAs (89.3% men, median age 60.0 (57.0;64.0) years). PUFAs were prescribed 2000 mg daily starting with 5 days before CABG and 1000 mg daily after CABG for 21 days. In all the patients, we studied interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-10, NT-proBNP, troponin, superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione and omega-3 index. Results. During the observation period POAF occurred in 29.7% patients of group 1, and in 16.9% patients of group 2 (p = 0.009). In postoperative period patients of group 1 had median IL-6 level 39.3% higher (p = 0.001) and median IL-10 level - 20.2% higher (p = 0.01) comparing with group 2. In patients of group 2 we found SOD median level 78.9% lower (р&lt;0.0001) and MDA median level 33.8% lower compared to the patients of group 1 (р=0.03). In postoperative period in group 2 the median level of docosahexaenoic acid was 55% higher (p = 0.03), and omega-3 index - 43.4% higher (h = 0.04) compared with group 1. Conclusion. We found that patients with PUFAs had less activation of inflammation and oxidative stress after CABG than patients without PUFAs. The patients with PUFAs also had increased levels of docosahexaenoic acids and omega-3 index compared to the patients without PUFAs. We also found a significant decrease of the prevalence of POAF after CABG in patients with PUFAs.

<strong>Background:</strong> Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is rarely performed in very young patients. The purpose of our study is to compare the characteristics, treatments, in-hospital, and long-term outcomes of two groups of patients less than 40 years of age who had CABG in two successive decades: 1990-2000 and 2001-2011. <br /><strong>Methods:</strong> We identified 145 consecutive patients who underwent primary isolated CABG. Group 1 consisted of <br />78 patients operated between 1990-2000 and group 2 consisted of 67 patients operated between 2001-2011. Composite end point assessed at follow-up period involved death or recurrence of symptoms, which we defined as myocardial infarction, a need for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), reoperation, or congestive heart failure (CHF).  <br /><strong>Results:</strong> Smoking and hypercholesterolemia before CABG were noted as more frequent in group 1 than in group 2: 96.1% versus 83.6%, P = .011; 88.5% versus 61.2%, <br />P = .0001, respectively. Patients from group 2 more frequently received one graft (29.8% versus 11.5%, P = .0059), were operated with off-pump (41.8% versus 0%, P &lt; .0001) or MIDCAB (28.4% versus 0%, P = .0008) techniques, and had complete arterial revascularization (58.2% versus 23.1%, P &lt; .0001). Group 1 patients had a higher prevalence of composite end point (33.9% versus 17.9%, P = .035), with no significant difference in mortality (11.5% versus 10.4%, P = .83).<br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Patients operated between 1990-2000 had a higher prevalence of smoking and hypercholesterolemia and higher frequency of composite-end point during folow-up period without significant difference in mortality.

Objective: To compare the early outcome of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery using a combination of antegrade and retrograde cardipoplegia with that utilizing antegrade cardioplegia alone in triple vessel coronary artery disease. Study Design: Comparative cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Adult Cardiac Surgery of Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology and National Institute of Heart Diseases, Rawalpindi, from Sep 2013 to Apr 2019. Methodology: A total of 160 patients with triple vessel coronary artery disease who underwent CABG surgery for 90% or greater stenos is in at least one major vessel in each of the three territories, namely the left anterior descending, the circumflex and the right coronary artery were investigated retrospectively. These were divided into 2 equal groups on the basis of the technique of administration of cardioplegia: in group-1 only ante grade blood cardioplegia was administered for myocardial protection and group-2 was given ante grade and retrograde cardiolplegia. Clinical outcomes like peri-operative mortality and morbidity were recorded, and serum creatine kinase MB, lactate, and mixed venous oxygen saturation levels were monitored. Two dimensional echocardiogram was performed on the 6th post-operative day and follow-up visits were planned 1 week and 4 weeksafter discharge from hospital. Results: There were 2 (2.5%) early deaths in group-1 and no peri-operative mortality in group-2. Five patients in group-1 (6.25%) and 2 (2.5%) in group-2 had non-fatal peri-operative myocardial infarction. However, significant differences included increased incidence of intra-operative ventricular dysrythmias, higher CK-MB levels at 24 hours after surgery, and increased requirement of intra-aortic balloon pump and inotropic support in Group-1. Conclusion: We conclude from this study that the combined delivery of ante grade and retrograde cardioplegia during CABG surgery for triple vessel coronary artery disease provides better myocardial protection and hence better outcome than antegrade cardioplegia alone.Keywords: , , ,

Background: Inflammation plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of many diseases as well as postoperative acute renal failure (ARF). Preoperative neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) values have a prognostic value for postoperative ARF after cardiovascular surgeries. Methods: Patients who underwent elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass in our clinic between December 15, 2015 and December 15, 2019, retrospectively were included in this study. Patients who did not develop ARF after the operation were categorized as Group 1, and patients who did were included in Group 2. NLR was calculated from the hemograms during three periods (Preoperative (Pre), Postcardiotomy (Pc), Postoperative Day 1 (Po1). DeltaNLR1 (PcNLR- PreNLR) and DeltaNLR2 (Po1NLR-PreNLR) values were obtained from these calculated values. Results: The mean ages of patients in Group 1 (N = 274) and Group 2 (N = 61) were 60 ± 9.1 years and 67.7 ± 9.8 years, respectively (P < .001). In the multivariate analysis, being over 65 years of age (Odds ratio [OR]: 1.074, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.012-1.194, P = .030), postoperative inotropic need (OR: 0.678, CI 95%: 0.395-0.819, P = .021), increased blood product use (OR: 0.916, CI 95%: 0.779-0.986, P = .034), preoperative creatinine increase (OR: 1.974, CI 95%: 1.389-4.224, P = .007), PcNLR (OR : 1.988, CI 95%: 1.765-3.774, P <.001), Po1NLR (OR: 1.090, CI 95%: 1.007-2.116, P = .028), DeltaNLR1 (OR: 3.090, CI 95%: 1.698-6.430, P < .001) and DeltaNLR2 (OR: 1.676, CI 95%: 1.322-2.764, P = .003) were identified as independent predictors for predicting postoperative ARF. Conclusion: In this study, we have shown that peroperative NLR changes can be used as an effective parameter to predict ARF developing following CABG operations.

<strong>Objective:</strong> To investigate the association of platelet to lymphocyte ratio to mortality and morbidity after coronary artery bypass grafting operation.<br /><strong>Methods:</strong> We evaluated records of 916 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting operation between January 2009 and May 2014 retrospectively. Patients were grouped as Group 1 (n = 604) if the platelet to lymphocyte ratio was above 142 and Group 2 (n = 312) if platelet to lymphocyte ratio was below 142.<br /><strong>Results:</strong> The number of patients who developed a neurologic event during the hospital stay and in the first postoperative month was 7 (1.2%) in Group 1 and 12 (3.8%) in Group 2 for which the difference was statistically significant (P = .007). Early term mortality occurred in 3 patients (0.5%) in Group 1 and in 10 patients (3.2%) in Group 2 for which the difference was statistically highly significant (P = .001). In univariate and multivariate regression analysis, the preoperative platelet to lymphocyte ratio was determined as an independent risk factor for occurrence of atrial fibrillation in the early postoperative period, reoperation for sternum dehiscence, occurrence of a neurologic event, prolonged stay in the hospital and mortality.<br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> In this study, elevated levels of platelet to lymphocyte ratio were associated with mortality and morbidity after coronary artery bypass grafting operation.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background. Postoperative CABG patients will generally experience improvement in symptoms and functional capacity. Post-CABG patients are expected to be productive again in order to have a positive impact on both patient and the society socio-economically, in addition to other parameters such as morbidity, mortality and serious adverse events. Purpose to determine the factors that associated with return to work in CABG patients in one General Hospital. Methods. We analyzed data from Adam Malik Hospital registry of 68 patients who had undergone CR after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in 2017-2020. The outcomes assessed were work status in 6 month after CABG. Patients’ characteristics, sociodemographic, clinical parameters of functional capacity using 6 minutes of walk test (6MWT), T2DM, Hypertension and cholesterol level were assessed. Factors associated with return to work were identified using multivariable logistic regression. Results We identified 68 patients undergoing isolated CABG (2017–2020). One year after discharge for CABG, 40 (58.8%) patients had returned to the workforce. Factors associated with return to work  were identified using bivariate logistic regression. Diabetes mellitus (odds ratio, 10.192; 95% confidence interval, 0.063–0.515). Conclusion Almost 2 from 3 patients after CABG returned to work within 6 months. Diabetes mellitus and functional capacity were associated with a lower likelihood of returning to work.
