Abstract

Our aim in this study was to evaluate the effect of physical training performed before CABG on the perioperative dynamics of the serum levels of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) of patients with stable coronary heart disease (CHD). Patients in the preoperative period were randomized into two groups: the training group (n = 43) underwent high-intensity treadmill training; the patients in the control group (n = 35) received no training before the procedure. The serum concentrations of ADMA and ET-1 were determined in the perioperative period, and the course of the early postoperative period was analyzed. In the training group, we found a significantly lower incidence of postoperative complications during hospital stays (p = 0.013). At the end of the training program, the ADMA levels were 1.8 times higher in the controls than in the training group (p = 0.001). We found that type 2 diabetes increased the probability of complications by 12 times (OR: 12.3; 95% CI: 1.24-121.5; p = 0.03), as well as elevating the concentration of ET-1 on the eve of surgery (OR: 10.7; 95% CI: 1.4-81.3; p = 0.02). Physical prehabilitation reduced the likelihood of complications nine times (OR: 0.11; 95% CI: 0.02-0.83; p = 0.03). The AUC was 0.851 ± 0.07 (95% CI: 0.71-0.98). The obtained results indicate the benefit of physical training during the prehabilitation stage since it can help to preserve endothelial function.
