Abstract:

 


Objective. The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of
cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program on obese and non-obese patients with
coronary artery disease. Methods. The records of 60
coronary artery disease patients aged between 18-75 years, who were included in
CR were evaluated. Of the study subjects, 20 had undergone coronary artery
bypass grafting (CABG) and 40 had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention
(PCI). The patients were
divided into two groups by body mass index (BMI), with Group I being non-obese
(BMI  0.05). Conclusion. CR was found
to be effective and safe in terms of functional capacity, daily life activities
and anxiety in both obese and non-obese patients. Functional capacity gain in
the obese group was less than non-obese patients.
