Summary

INTRODUCTION: Cardiovascular diseases are the main causes of death in Brazil and in the world, associated with a large number of people with physical disabilities and disability, significantly burdening public health expenditures. Some patients end up having the need to do cardiac surgeries. , and consequently suffer complications associated with the surgical process due to prolonged rest in the bed, and complications are directly related to the morbidity and mortality rate in these patients. Thus, cardiac rehabilitation has great scientific evidences that directly impacts functional capacity, quality of life and thus reducing the morbimortality rate of these patients. However, it is worth noting that there is no outpatient cardiovascular rehabilitation service linked to the single health system (SUS) in the Amazon Region, that is, involving phase III of cardiac rehabilitation with defined and structured protocols for the group of patients already mentioned. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical evolution of patients in the postoperative period of coronary artery bypass grafting and / or valve replacement (phase III), in outpatient treatment. METHODOLOGY: It is a a longitudinal study, with quantitative variables to be performed in a single center within a year (12 months). Which will evaluate the effects of phase III cardiac rehabilitation of patients undergoing cardiac surgery through an evaluation, which will evaluate heart rate variability, functional capacity by six-minute walk test, pulmonary volumes and capacities by spirometry, percutaneous strength and ventilatory muscle, MRC scale and manovacuometry, respectively, and the application of a quality of life assessment questionnaire. Subsequently, the protocol of 20 sessions will be applied and at the end the same variables will be re-evaluated. EXPECTED RESULTS: It is expected from the application of this research that the protocol suggested for the phase III cardiac rehabilitation of patients submitted to cardiac surgery will bring benefits to patients, such as improvement in heart rate variability, improvement in functional capacity, improvement in quality of life, and reduction in morbidity and mortality rates.
