Abstract:Introduction:Cardiac anxiety(CA) is a common finding in patients in the
pre- and postoperative period of coronary artery bypass graft(CABG)
surgery. Ventilatory restriction generated by pain and reduced muscle
strength is associated with increased CA level. Inspiratory muscle
training(IMT) for generating increased muscle strength can cause a
decrease in CA in the postoperative period. Objective:To evaluate the
impact of IMT on inspiratory muscle strength and its relationship with
cardiac anxiety in patients un… Show more
