Summary

This study aims to analyze effects of three types of cardiac rehabilitation protocol on fuctional capacity, inflammatory markers, pulmonary function and clinical outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with left ventricular disfunction. Patients will be randomized and allocated in three groups according to type of exercise protocol: 1. walk; 2. cycle; 3. functional electrical stimulation.

Detailed description

Several studies have been demonstrated beneficial effects of exercise to minimize impact of CABG. However, there is no consensus on what kind of exercise is safe and effective for patients with left ventricular dysfunction. Walking

Conditions

• Disorder; Heart, Functional, Postoperative, Cardiac Surgery

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Walking exercise	Participants will be sumitted to progressive exercises and supervised by a physiotherapist, active-assisted to free active exercise in upper and lower limbs, stationary running and walking. The intensity of walk will be determined by the Borg's sujective effort perception scale - (modified from zero to 10). On first postoperative day, participants will perform exercises in supine position. From the second to the fifth postoperative day, they will perform progressive walking.
OTHER	Stationary cycling exercise	Participants will be sumitted to progressive exercises and supervised by a physiotherapist, active-assisted to free active exercise in upper and lower limbs. From the first to the fifth postoperative day, they will perform progressive cycling exercise.The intensity of cycling will be determined by the Borg's sujective effort perception scale - (modified from zero to 10).
OTHER	Neuromuscular electrical stimulation	Participants will be sumitted to progressive exercises and supervised by a physiotherapist, active-assisted to free active exercise in upper and lower limbs. From the first to the fifth postoperative day, quadriceps and gastrocnemius muscles will be percutaneous stimulated with the following parameters: Synchronic mode, 50Hz, 400uS, time on 10s, time off 20s, intensity as tolerated by the patient.
