Official title: Effects of Exercise Rehabilitation Program at Hospitalar Fase on Inflammatory Markers, Functional Capacity and Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Left Ventricular Dysfunction After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to analyze effects of three types of cardiac rehabilitation protocol on fuctional capacity, inflammatory markers, pulmonary function and clinical outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with left ventricular disfunction. Patients will be randomized and allocated in three groups according to type of exercise protocol: 1. walk; 2. cycle; 3. functional electrical stimulation.

Clinical Trial Description

Several studies have been demonstrated beneficial effects of exercise to minimize impact of CABG. However, there is no consensus on what kind of exercise is safe and effective for patients with left ventricular dysfunction.
