Effect of physiotherapy on quality of life after coronary artery bypass graft surgery: A randomized study
Journal of Research in Medical Sciences Jun 20, 2018
Zolfaghari M, et al. - Researchers evaluated the impact that physiotherapy (PT) has on the quality of life (QoL) of patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, as well as the effect of PT on physical and mental aspects of patients’ QoL. Study participants were 50 subjects who aged between 60 and 70 years and who had previously had CABG surgery. The study findings suggest that PT can help relieve pain, reduce depression, help patients perform the tasks of everyday living better, and help ease the symptoms of other disabilities related to cardiac surgery. They also found that the implementation of a PT program improved the patient’s mental health and increased their QoL.
