About

This randomized controlled trial investigates the comparative effects of a combined preoperative and postoperative cardiac rehabilitation program versus a postoperative-only program on functional capacity, pulmonary function, peripheral muscle strength, pain, kinesiophobia, and quality of life in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The study aims to determine whether initiating rehabilitation prior to surgery improves short-term postoperative outcomes.
