Description
Summary:	Conclusion: The home-based and centre-based cardiac rehabilitation programs were equally effective in improving functional capacity and left ventricular ejection fraction in CABG patients. Keywords: Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction, 6-Minute Walk Distance, Centre-based Cardiac Rehabilitation, Home-based Cardiac Rehabilitation, Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) Introduction Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the primary cause of global mortality. Out of that 30, the 6 participants denied to participate. [...]24 (n=24) participants included in this study and divided into two groups by utilizing purposive sampling method. 1. Group 'B'- Home-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation: An individualized tailored aerobic exercise program was given for this group which included aerobic exercises; brisk walking, as the literature shows, brisk walking is an activity that is sufficiently intense to improve aerobic capacity in both healthy sedentary and cardiac patients.
