Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare different types of rehabilitation after coronary bypass surgery. The investigators wish to compare rehabilitation in an institution for four weeks with a home based rehabilitation. They also wish to compare rehabilitation in an institution for four weeks with a rehabilitation program were the patients live at home but visit the hospital twice a week for twelve week. The investigators will measure the patients' physical capacity by measuring their maximal oxygen consumption. The investigators will also analyze their blood and their endothelian function (how well their arteries dilate).

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Rehabilitation in institution

Rehabilitation in institution for four weeks. Subjects follow standard rehabilitation in the center.

BEHAVIORAL

Rehabilitation at home

Subjects get a written prescription of exercise training, diet, etc. to follow at home.

BEHAVIORAL

Out-patient rehabilitation at the hospital

This intervention was removed. We never got time to randomize subjects into this category. We had planned to randomize patients from one hospital to either Rehabilitation in institution (rehab center) or rehabilitation at the hospital (out patient). And also patients from another hospital to either rehabilitation in institution (rehab centre) or rehabilitation at home. We have only managed to start the study in this second hospital so far (due to maternity leave and limited time to finish a PhD)
