Summary

this study aims to investigate the effect of the cardiac rehabilitation program on perceived health, status, anxiety, depression, and 90-day readmission rates for post-cardiac surgery patients. The participants in this study will be randomly allocated to either an experimental or control group, the experimental group will receive the cardiac rehabilitation programThe cardiac rehabilitation program extends over 3 months after cardiac surgery. The program includes exercise, health education, and stress management. All content will delivered to the participants through the WhatsApp application as instruction videos and short lectures. exercise will be gradually increased in terms of intensity, and duration. Health education will cover topics like a healthy diet blood pressure, blood cholesterol control, smoking cessation..etc. Stress management will include relaxation therapy, breathing control, behavioral change, and other strategies to control stress.

The assessment includes electrocardiograph (ECG), blood samples, and echocardiography analyses. Based on the findings of this assessment, patients will be classified by the cardiologist as either grade I, II, III, or IV, according to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) Classification. Patients who will be eligible to participate in the present study should be grade I or II in the NYHA Classification for dyspnea.
