Summary

To evaluate the impact of prehabilitation on quality of recovery in heart valve surgery. To evaluate the effects of Mild to moderate valvular diseases with Newyork Heart Association (NYHA) grade I and II . Previous studies were designed to target on Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABGs) patients no specifically heart valve surgery patients was studied so this study cover this aspect as well so from the outcomes of this study we will determine the prehabilitation effects on valvular surgery patients.

Detailed description

A review stated that " the concept of prehabilitation has entered the forefront which encompasses multidisciplinary interventions to improve health and lessen the incidence of postoperative decline. In the previous study held in pre-operative assessment clinic between March 2016 and August 2016, evaluated that PREHAB programme for frail patients undergoing CABG or Valve surgery may be able to improve functional ability and reduce hospital length of stay for those patients undergoing cardiac surgery. previous other studies, parental study which is PREQUEL study recruitment started in July 2018 expect patient recruitment and 3 months of follow-up will be completed in June 2022 then their analysis will be done. To improve functional and enhance the resources and postoperative recovery, prehabilitation plays a very cardial role. In some studies, it has been noticed that preoperative improvement in physical fitness, improve functional capacity all this is the part of the model for improving post-surgery recovery, this could play a vital role.
