Summary
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) consists of supervised exercise training in conjunction with other secondary prevention interventions. However, CR is not widely used because of distance, financial resources, work and other time constraints, gender, age, social support, illness perceptions, and psychiatric problems. Baduanjin is a type of movement-based mind-body intervention. It is a form of traditional practice designed to promote physical and psychological health, manage symptoms, and relieve stress during illness. Patients with heart disease have frequently used it. The impacts of a Baduanjin exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation program for patients recovering from CAD under coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or valve replacement on Meridian Energy Analysis Device (MEAD100, Med- Pex Enterprises, Taichung, Taiwan) and heart rate variability (HRV) has yet to be assessed. This trial evaluates whether the Baduanjin exercise would provide effective meridian energy and HRV in patients following CABG.
