Objective: To determine the gender based differences in quality of life after phase II cardiac rehabilitation in post coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) Material & Methods: A Quasi experimental study was conducted Shifa international hospital (SIH) Islamabad from June 2017 to November 2017 (IRB&: 778-053-2017). The sample of n=30 participants (male = 15, female = 15), were collected through non-probability Convenient sampling method. Male and female participants between 45-60 years of age with coronary artery bypass graft surgery and completed phase I cardiac rehabilitation program were included in the study. To measure quality of life RAND 36-Item Health Survey was used at 0 week and after 8 week. Results: The mean age of study participants in female was 54.53±3.357 and male 55.60±5.20 years. The results showed that there post intervention significant improvement was observed in male than female regarding physical functioning (33.33±4.98 vs. 70±41.40, p=0.028). Role limitation due to physical health also showed more improvement in male than female (MD=21.66). Role limitation due to emotional showed significant improve in females than male (26.66±45.77 vs. 80±41.40, p=0.002). Conclusion: The study indicated that 8 week phase II cardiac rehabilitation programs had significant role in improving all domains of Quality of life (SF-36). But physical function, role limitation due to physical health and role limitation due to emotional problem were more improved in male as compare to female.

Objective: To determine the impact of an exercise-based prehabilitation (EBPrehab) program on pre- and postoperative exercise capacity, functional capacity (FC) and quality of life (QoL) in patients awaiting elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Design: A two-group randomized controlled trail. Setting: Ambulatory prehabilitation. Subjects: Overall 230 preoperative elective CABG-surgery patients were randomly assigned to an intervention (IG, n = 88; n = 27 withdrew after randomization) or control group (CG, n = 115). Intervention: IG: two-week EBPrehab including supervised aerobic exercise. CG: usual care. Main measures: At baseline (T1), one day before surgery (T2), at the beginning (T3) and at the end of cardiac rehabilitation (T4) the following measurements were performed: cardiopulmonary exercise test, six-minute walk test (6MWT), Timed-Up-and-Go Test (TUG) and QoL (MacNew questionnaire). Results: A total of 171 patients (IG, n = 81; CG, n = 90) completed the study. During EBPrehab no complications occurred. Preoperatively FC (6MWTIG: 443.0 ± 80.1 m to 493.5 ± 75.5 m, P = 0.003; TUGIG: 6.9 ± 2.0 s to 6.1 ± 1.8 s, P = 0.018) and QoL (IG: 5.1 ± 0.9 to 5.4 ± 0.9, P < 0.001) improved significantly more in IG compared to CG. Similar effects were observed postoperatively in FC (6MWDIG: Δ-64.7 m, pT1–T3 = 0.013; Δ+47.2 m, pT1–T4 < 0.001; TUGIG: Δ+1.4 s, pT1–T3 = 0.003). Conclusions: A short-term EBPrehab is effective to improve perioperative FC and preoperative QoL in patients with stable coronary artery disease awaiting CABG-surgery.
