ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of an 8 week period of aerobic interval training and massage therapy on changes in C-reactive protein (CRP) level and cardiorespiratory fitness in cardiovascular patients after coronary artery bypass graft.
In general, these findings show that 8-week programs of aerobic interval training and massage therapy significantly reduced serum CRP value and caused a significant increase in peak oxygen consumption in patients with coronary artery bypass graft.
Few studies have investigated the effect of cardiovascular rehabilitation on inflammatory indices and cardiorespiratory fitness of patients after coronary artery bypass graft.
This study addresses the question of whether or not aerobic training and massage therapy can reduce serum levels of CRP and increase cardiorespiratory fitness in cardiovascular patients after coronary artery bypass graft.
DISCUSSION This study aimed to investigate the effect of interval aerobic training and massage therapy on changes in C-reactive protein and cardiorespiratory fitness in cardiovascular patients after coronary artery bypass graft.
Milani, Lavie, and Mehra (2004) reduced CRP through rehabilitation programs and exercise activity in patients with coronary artery bypass graft.
CONCLUSION Levels of inflammatory indices in patients after bypass surgery are high and aerobic interval activity and massage therapy served to significantly reduce serum CRP levels."
