Recovery from cardiac surgery is not entirely determined by physical attributes and medical treatment, but social and psychological factors may also influence the process of postoperative short and long-term recovery. The objective of this study is to find out the Comparative Effects of Buteyko Exercise and Corpse-Pose Technique on Physical Health and Quality of Life in Post-Cardiac Surgery Patients.
