Effects of five years of cardiac rehabilitation after coronary artery bypass grafting on coronary risk factors.
Coronary risk factors were studied in 119 patients randomly assigned to cardiac rehabilitation and compared with 109 patients receiving standard care alone after coronary artery bypass grafting. The long-term impact of rehabilitation on risk factors was modest in patients undergoing elective coronary surgery.
