The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of exercise training program on cardiac function indicated by heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) in the patients who had undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. The study was conducted in 100 cardiac patients of both sexes (age: 57-65 years) who after CABG surgery, were referred to the department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation between 2008 and 2010 at Liaquat National Hospital & Medical College, Karachi. The patients undertook exercise training program (using treadmill), keeping in view the Borg's scale of perceived exertion, for 6 weeks. HR and BP were measured at the start and end of the exercise training program. Exercise significantly restored the values of HR and BP (systolic) from the baseline to the last session of the training program. There appeared significant improvement in cardiac function four to six weeks of treadmill exercise training program.
