Background & Aim: Cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention is an integral part of the treatment of patient with cardiovascular disease to date, however the effect of this programs on profile lipids and liver enzymes are controversial, and there isn’t enough research about effect of cardiac rehabilitation on exercise performance in patients with coronary heart bypass. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a period of aerobic exercise rehabilitation on profile lipids, liver enzymes and exercise performance in patients with coronary heart bypass.
Material & Methods: In this quasi – experimental study 10 male and 10 female patients with coronary heart bypass 45-60 years old participated in this study. Body mass index, body fat percentage, glucose, blood pressure, and lipid profile were measured at baseline and after exercise training. Training program lasted for ten weeks and it was carried out 3 times per week. Statistical tests of paired t and independent t-test were used for data analysis
Results: Plasma TC, LDL, TG and liver enzymes significantly decreased; while plasma HDL and exercise performance significantly increased with aerobic exercise rehabilitation (P<0.05); but, there were no significant differences in profile lipids, liver enzymes and exercise performance between male and female groups. Also, VO2max was elevated in the two training group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Regarding the effect of aerobic rehabilitation program in improving the status of coronary artery bypass patients, participating in the aerobic rehabilitation program, caring and follow-up is recommended for improving the quality of this patient’s life more efficiently.
