However, • Few studies have reported the effects of physical activities on physical functioning: • Shu-Lin, et al. Effects of phase I cardiac rehabilitation on anxiety of patients hospitalized for coronary artery bypass graft in Taiwan. Heart Lung 2002; 31:133-140 • Hirschhorn, et al. Supervised moderate intensity exercise improves distance walked at hospital discharge following coronary artery bypass graft surgery-a randomised controlled trial. Heart Lung Circ 2008; 17:129-138 • Hirschhorn, et al. Stationary cycling is as effective as walking in phase I cardiac rehabilitation: a randomised controlled trial.

During hospital stay, all these studies found that CR group recorded better outcomes compared to UC group

Immediately After Hospital Discharge â&#x20AC;˘ CR often start 2 to 8 weeks after hospital discharge â&#x20AC;˘ Post-cardiac events patients have been reported to have high level of anxiety and depression with low physical activity following hospital discharge.

â&#x20AC;˘ 209 AMI patients (EF>45%); a month after discharge 4 weeks Ex programme (4 days/week) â&#x20AC;˘ 3 ex programmes: AG (52), RG (54) and A&R (53) 1. AG: 10-minute warm-up, 40-minutes of cycling (75%HRmax)and 10-minute cool-down.

2. RG:

10-minute warm-up, 4 sets of 10 Resis Ex & 10 to 12rep (60% max voluntary contraction)and 10-minute cool-down.

3. A&R: 2 sessions AEx AND 2 sessions REx

• 38 AMI patients (EF>40%); > a month after discharge 8 weeks Ex programme (3 days/week) • 10-minute warm-up, 35-minutes of aerobic Ex (6575%HRmax) and 10-minute cool-down.

In Conclusion • Before exercise programme, echo and ETT are recommended for AMI patients…

• Health care providers should work together…

• What could we do for Saudis AMI patients?

â&#x20AC;˘ 230 MI patients Hospital-based started 4 to 6 weeks after discharge 8 to 10 weeks Ex programme Home-based stared 1st week booklet & phone calls â&#x20AC;˘ Home-based was as effective as hospital-based for MI patients and did not show significantly affect on clinical outcomes.
