Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is a surgical procedure to restore blood flow to the heart when coronary arteries are blocked. Post-surgery, patients may experience pain, reduced endurance, breathing difficulty, or restricted mobility. Physiotherapy is essential after CABG to improve lung function, enhance circulation, rebuild strength, and safely return to daily activities while reducing future cardiac risks. Evidence-based rehabilitation significantly improves long-term outcomes and quality of life.
Causes Leading to CABG:
- Coronary artery disease (plaque buildup)
- Multiple arterial blockages
- Severe chest pain (angina) not relieved by medication
- Heart attack due to artery obstruction
- Poor results from angioplasty or stenting
- High cardiovascular risk with narrowed arteries
Post-CABG Symptoms/Challenges:
- Chest pain or soreness at the incision site
- Shortness of breath during activity
- Fatigue and low exercise tolerance
- Swelling in legs or feet
- Stiffness and reduced upper body mobility
- Anxiety or low mood during recovery
- Risk of secondary heart complications without rehab
