“…The quality of life of these patients was also improved and was maintained during the first 6 months after surgery. Cook et al [16] have also demonstrated that an exercise program and guidance on risk factors is beneficial to patients waiting for CABG, and was effective in reducing hospital stay.…”

“…However, few studies have assessed the effect of regular physical activity in patients referred for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) [15][16][17]. The effect of leisuretime physical activity (LTPA) in the preoperative period on the incidence of major cardiac events (MCE), immediately after surgery in patients undergoing CABG is not well reported.…”

Efeito da atividade física de lazer no prognóstico da cirurgia de revascularização do miocárdioEffect of leisure-time physical activity on the prognosis of coronary artery bypass graft surgery Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) in the early outcome of coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG).Methods: This prospective cohort study analyzed 202 patients submitted to CABG. The patients were assigned to two groups, active or sedentary, according to the practice of LTPA in the preoperative period. The independent variable LTPA practiced by the patients in the previous year of the surgery was evaluated. The occurrence of the major adverse cardiac events as death, acute myocardial infarction, reoperation and the hospital stay after surgery were planned to be evaluated.Results: The mean age of patients was 62 ± 10 years, and 134 (66%) were men. Sixty-six (33%) patients practiced LTPA and were classified as active, and 136 (67%) were sedentary. The active group showed 78% less probability (OR= 0 . 74NERY, RM -Effect of leisure-time physical activity on the prognosis of coronary artery bypass graft surgery Bras Cir Cardiovasc 2010; 25(1): 73-78 impairment that could impair the accomplishment of the walking test were also excluded.

“…Cook et al [12] sought to quantify the in-shape patients and determine whether it could improve the outcome in a Postoperative (179) group of patients referred for CABG. It was observed that patients with high body fat percentage and low aerobic capacity are at high risk for at least one postoperative complication, and a longer hospital stay.…”

“…In addition, questionnaire-based evaluations methods, such as those using the Veterans Specific Activity Questionnaire (VSAQ) and The Duke Activity Status Index (DASI), have been widely used in many countries and introduced into the textbook of the American College of Sports Medicine (8)(9)(10). In Japan, these questionnaire-based methods have been introduced into a number of exercise guidebooks for the assessment of cardiopulmonary function in circulatory disease and the evaluation of functional capacity recovery in the rehabilitation field, but whether these methods are applicable to Japanese elderly over the age of 75 is unclear (11,12).…”

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine whether a questionnaire-based method using the Veterans Specific Activity Questionnaire (VSAQ) is a practical tool for the development of a safe exercise program to prevent a reduction in physical performance.Methods: One hundred and twenty-one senior residents of Yakage, Okayama, agreed to voluntarily participate in this study. They were asked to complete a questionnaire for information on age, sex, subjective health status, exercise habits and VSAQ. We investigated the relationship between age and exercise capacity predicted by VSAQ (predicted metabolic equivalents (METs)). In addition, for 36 out of the 121 participants, we performed a 6-min walk distance test (6MD) and investigated whether its results correlate with the predicted METs. Furthermore, we prepared a modified VSAQ and examined its practicality in the evaluation of the exercise capacity of Japanese elderly (n=50).Results: We found that the predicted METs correlate well with age. Habitual exercise and subjective health status did not affect the predicted METs. A significant correlation was observed between the predicted METs and the results of 6MD (r=0.56, p<0.001). We also found that certain activities included in the original VSAQ are unfamiliar to Japanese elderly; thus, we made a few modifications to the original VSAQ in order to evaluate the physical fitness of Japanese elderly. The number of inadequate answers was reduced by employing the modified VSAQ.Conclusion: These findings imply that the modified VSAQ is useful in evaluating the exercise capacity of Japanese elderly adequately and is a practical scale for safe exercise.

The Influence of Patient Strength, Aerobic Capacity and Body Composition Upon Outcomes After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Abstract: Extrapleural pneumonectomy for diffuse malignant pleural mesothelioma was concluded to be a treatment option in stage Ib cases with epithelial histology. To evaluate precisely the efficacy of surgery for the disease, a randomized control trial must be organized multi-institutionally.
