“…5,6,7 Most often diet and exercise, if included in studies, have been measured as secondary endpoints. 8 Poor diet and lack of exercise are known risk factors for subsequent development and worsening of CAD after CABG surgery, and recent studies suggest that lack of proper diet and exercise remain to be important risk factors specifically in patients who are post-CABG.…”

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) has been used for the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD) for nearly 50 years, and has been performed for millions of people worldwide. However, little is known about the impact of lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise, on long-term outcomes in patients who have had CABG surgery. While clinical practice guidelines on post-CABG surgery management have been available for nearly 2 decades, evidence regarding secondary prevention behavioral interventions, lifestyle modifications, and self-management to slow progressive worsening of CAD, reduce cardiac hospitalizations, and prevent the need for reoperation is virtually absent from the literature. Diet and exercise are modifiable factors that impact secondary CAD risk. This article reviews the relevant recent literature on long-term diet and exercise outcomes in patients who have had CABG surgery. The limited available literature showed positive impacts of exercise on psychosocial well-being and physical fitness. Current evidence indicates diet and exercise interventions are effective in the short-term, but intervention effects fade over time. Potential age and gender differences were found across the reviewed studies; however, further research is needed with more rigorous designs to replicate and confirm findings as well as to define optimal management regimens and cost-effective prevention strategies.

“…Other investigators have noted a failure of risk factor control, with only 11 % of patients having all risk factors under control [15]. It has been suggested that poor secondary prevention management following CABG occurs because the evidence for benefit is largely drawn from studies of patients post-infarction or suffering from angina [16]. The observation that patients who exceeded target levels of total cholesterol and systolic blood pressure at 16 months suffered more angina is therefore not surprising.…”

“…smoking, unhealthy eating habits and lack of exercise) accounted for an overwhelmingly large proportion of the risk of IHD . Smoking was associated with increased rates of definite or probable thrombosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass surgery . Smoking cessation markedly reduced rates of death and recurrence in coronary patients; this appears to have a larger secondary preventive effect than medications .…”

Smoking is a major risk factor for not only the occurrence of myocardial ischaemia but also recurrences of vascular stenosis. This study aimed to evaluate health-promoting lifestyles and abstinence rate after a smoking cessation programme. Sixty-two smokers who had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention were randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group. The experimental group (n = 30) received 10 phone counselling sessions and 21 short message service messages for abstinence and coronary disease prevention, whereas the control group (n = 32) received only the standard education. After the intervention, 14 members of the experimental group had switched to a non-smoking status, confirmed biochemically; moreover, their physical activity and stress management scores increased significantly. However, self-efficacy of smoking cessation was not reflected in the cotinine levels. Thus, it is necessary not only to increase self-efficacy but also to determine the factors that affect the success of smoking cessation so that they can be included in the intervention. Our results suggest that phone counselling and short message service messaging might be important tools for the realization of smoking cessation and lifestyle changes among patients who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention.
