Background: Although cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is recommended after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, there are still deficient data about the long-term benefit of CR CABG. Methods: We analyzed a single-center prospective registry, which included patients who had undergone CABG between 2000 and 2011. evaluated relationship participation in survival. identified 3975 (62.4±9.1 years old, 74.3% male) survived for at least 3 months surgery. Results: Of these, 2419 (60.9%) participated phase I while hospitalized, 383 (9.6%) II an outpatient clinic. During median follow-up 6.0 (IQR, 4.3 to 9.5), all-cause Kaplan-Meier mortality rate was 28.8% (616 deaths). Based on propensity score matching method, associated with 20% relative risk reduction (hazard ratio [HR], 0.80; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.64 0.98; p=0.043) 40% (HR, 0.60; CI, 0.40 0.90; p=0.012). After multivariate Cox-proportional analysis, any significant 0.77; 0.93; p=0.006 HR, 0.57; 0.39 0.84, p=0.004 CR). Conclusions: As well as participation, early during hospitalization has beneficial impact reducing mortality.
