Summary

Objective: To observe the effects of exercise training on vascular endothelial function in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) alone in phase III after six months of Cardiac rehabilitation programs (CRP).

Methods: the investigators contacted all patients undergoing CABG alone in period of 1 year to participate in a CRP with duration of six months with three weekly sessions of 1 and half hour of the duration. All patients underwent biochemical blood tests, muscle strength testing of one repetition maximum (1-RM test) for upper and lower limbs, 6-minute walk test (6MWT), and evaluation of endothelial function (using flow-mediated vasodilation).

Conditions

  • Vasodilation

Interventions

OTHER

exercise training

The program of exercise training (ET) was employed for 6 consecutive months with 3 sessions per week. The training of physical activity consisted of a combination of aerobic and resistance exercises for upper and lower limbs. Each session included: (1) 5-minute warm-up, (2) 30 minutes of aerobic exercise (performed in treadmills and stationary bikes); (3) 20 minutes of resistance exercises with dumbbells for upper limbs and ankle support for lower limbs (exercises preformed in diagonals) that consisted of 6 sets of 10 resistance exercises repeated for upper limbs, and the same number of sets for lower limbs; and (4) 5-minute cool-down, totaling ninety minutes of session per day (90min/day) and, two hundred and seventy minutes per week (270min/week).
