Abstract

The elderly rehabilitation program after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) encompasses endurance training performed on a cycloergometer and physical rehabilitation, the results being exceeded by adding strength and balance exercises. Early initiation of mobilization exercises can prevent problems of posture, as well as thoraco-pulmonary and scapular-humeral articulation conditions often encountered after cardiac surgery. The results of special functional training in elderly can be assessed by six minute walk perimeter and quality of life questionnaire. This article describes the extents of multiple dimensions facets of cardiac rehabilitation program, like effort capacity and psycho-social benefits, morbi-mortality and cost-effectiveness. Referral to cardiac rehabilitation for primary and secondary prevention programs remains low in developing countries. There is a need for a network intelligence schema in order to address patients’ needs and to improve health care professionals’ education.
