Effect of an Early Mobilization Program on Functional Capacityafter Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery a Systemic Review

Abstract

Cardiac surgery has worldwide excellent results for improving of patients’ functions. Coronary artery bypass surgery is an effective treatment of ischemic heart disease. Approximately 90% ofpatients will have relief of symptoms of angina without requiring ongoing medications. The procedure itself is considered relatively safe with a mortality less than 1% if the patient has normal heart function. CABG is performed to improve the coronary artery
blood flow and reduce the symptoms of myocardial ischemia, improve the ventricular function and to prevent the progression of the acute myocardial infarction and reduce the mortality [1,2]. In the CABG surgery, sections of saphenous vein, internal mammaryartery, radial artery, subscapular artery, and right gastroepigloticarteries are used. CABG surgeries were performed via a mediansternotomy.
