RESUMEN
La cardiopatía isquémica representa la principal causa de muerte a nivel mundial con un incremento en la incidencia en las poblaciones más jóvenes. Hoy en día existen estrategias de revascularización para el manejo de la isquemia aguda y/o crónica del miocardio. Estas son del tipo percutáneas así como también quirúrgicas. Aunque logremos mejorar la vascularización miocárdica mediante estos métodos, el principal determinante para mantener la permeabilidad coronaria y de los bypass confeccionados es una adecuada prevención secundaria. En esto se centran las propuestas de rehabilitación cardiaca a nivel mundial. Aunque se ha publicado mucho sobre el rol de la rehabilitación cardiaca luego de la revascularización percutánea, existen pocos trabajos capaces de sintetizar la situación actual del la rehabilitación cardiaca en el paciente que recibe cirugía de revascularización coronaria. El objetivo del presente trabajo es revisar el efecto de la rehabilitación en el retorno laboral, supervivencia, capacidad funcional, depresión y ansiedad, así como comparar la rehabilitación centralizada vs. domiciliaria en esta población de pacientes.
Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide with an increase in the incidence in younger populations. Today revascularization strategies are capable of alleviating acute ischemia and/or chronic ischemia. These can be performed percutaneously or through surgery. Even if we improve myocardial perfusion by these methods, the main determinant in maintaining patency of coronary arteries and bypass is a correctly instituted secondary prevention. This is the main focus of cardiac rehabilitation proposals. Although much has been published about the role of cardiac rehabilitation after percutaneous revascularization, there is little work able to synthesize the current state of cardiac rehabilitation in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. The aim of this paper is to review the effect of rehabilitation in the return to work, survival, functional capacity, depression and anxiety, as well as compare centralized vs. home rehabilitation in this patient population.

BACKGROUND: Chronic heart failure is a growing public health issue that is reaching epidemic proportions. In the last few years, multidisciplinary management programs have been developed to improve its management. Yet, some patients take advantage of these programs, whereas others do not. METHODS: Several demographic, medical, and social variables were evaluated as contributors to dropout after enrollment into a multidisciplinary heart failure program using a nested case-control design. A total of 14 patients and 42 controls were interviewed using a standardized questionnaire. Possible associations were explored by means of chi Mantel-Haenszel test and a binary logistic regression model. RESULTS: The only significant factor associated with dropout was social isolation. Patients who lived alone, without family support, had a significantly greater dropout risk (odds ratio, 12.5; 95% confidence interval, 1.35-11.6). CONCLUSIONS: For patients who live alone, an individualized approach may be better than a multidisciplinary management program, but this hypothesis should be investigated in future studies.
