SECTION 2 Treatment ofcoronary artery disease

mias, and cardiac rehabilitation, which is recognized in a timely e use of cardiopulmonary bypass is associated with the manipu­lation of the ascending aorta and initiates a systemic inammatory response that is linked with numerous perioperative complications. On the other hand, the technique of performing CABG without cardiopulmonary bypass support (o- pump), which was initially developed to decrease perioperative complications, has shown a tendency for higher rates of repeat revascularization aer the o­pump procedure in institutions with insucient experience with this technique.
By 2011, only the Randomized On/ O Bypass (ROOBY) trial
comparing on- pump versus o- pump CABG had been published,
manner and comprehensively covered in the EACTS and the AHA
guidelines on perioperative medications., Despite such recom-
mendations, the use of guideline- directed medical therapy remains
stubbornly low with fewer than 50% of patients in RCTs of PCI and
CABG receiving optimal therapy at 5years. Furthermore, the use
of therapy is substantially lower in CABG than PCI patients leading
to inferior clinical outcomes than would be achieved with more op-
timal therapy. is is a critical issue that has compromised CABG
in comparison to PCI in virtually every RCT that has contributed to
the evidence base upon which both European and American guide-
lines have been based. inuencing the American guidelines to consider either approach to be reasonable for the majority of patients undergoing CABG. In the meantime, two large clinical trials, the German O- Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graing in Elderly Patients (GOPCABE) and the CABG O or On Pump Revascularization (CORONARY) trials have shown no dierence in early and mid- term clinical out­comes between on- and o- pump surgery when performed by ex­perienced surgeons. Based on the accumulated data, the 2018 ESC/ EACTS Guidelines on myocardial revascularization recommend o- pump CABG with classIIaB for high- risk surgical patients (le ventricular dysfunction, renal impairment, severe anaemia, old age, prior stroke, redo- CABG, and chronic lung disease) and with classIB for patients with signicant atherosclerotic aortic disease to reduce the incidence of stroke in high- volume centres in the hands of highly trained teams.
Reasons fordifferences inthe givenrecommendations
Possible causes for dierent recommendations between guidelines
certainly include dierent publication timings, but also dierent
methodological approaches, interpretations of the evidence, and
healthcare environments. e diverging methodology starts with
the composition of task force members. In general, cardiologists
have far outnumbered cardiac surgeons on all guideline writing
committees and task forces on both sides of the Atlantic. Weighing
outcomes’ importance and grading the overall quality of the evi-
dence involve complex and potentially subjective decision- making.
Methods for achieving consensus among task force members and the
rules for managing possible conict of interest relationships within
Otherissues
e 2018 ESC/ EACTS Guidelines suggest a time frame during which revascularization procedures should be performed, prob­ably reecting specic European issues of access to care. Patients requiring myocardial revascularization are at higher risk of adverse events during the waiting period. According to the European re­commendations, stable patients with symptomatic complex CAD or depressed le ventricular ejection fraction should be preferably treated within 2 weeks, while others should wait for no longer than 6 weeks for treatment.
Another vital factor that is proven to markedly aect short- and long- term CABG results is optimal medication management be­fore, during, and aer surgical intervention. Numerous antiplatelet and anticoagulation agents have been introduced for both bridging and chronic use since the 2011 ACC/ AHA CABG Guidelines. e management of CABG patients is a delicate issue due to the need to balance both the bleeding and the thrombotic risks care­fully. Importantly, the number of patients with prior PCI who sub­sequently undergo CABG is increasing yearly. Recognizing the importance of the consensus regarding optimal antithrombotic strategies in CABG, both groups of guidelines have released the
the industry might lead to dierences in the nal recommendations. For example, the ESC/ EACTS methodology manual for joint guide­lines suggests the use of the voting system, in which at least 75% of task force members should agree on the nal recommendation. On the other hand, the ACC/ AHA methodology manual species that, when consensus is not achievable, formal voting of at least 51% of task force members is required to endorse any of the recommenda­tions. Importantly, developers of both guidelines strongly agree that the task force member(s) with the relevant conict of interest may participate in the discussion but must be excluded from the nal voting.
Continuous improvements in the outcomes of CABG and PCI technology have made the 2011 AHA/ ACC CABG Guidelines out­dated. is is particularly relevant when considering the procedural aspects of both CABG and PCI. Since the 2011 AHA/ ACC CABG Guidelines were published, PCI has undergone signicant improve­ment with the introduction of newer- generation drug- eluting stents, intracoronary pressure measurements, intracoronary imaging, and better adherence to secondary prevention medications. Similarly, despite an increasingly higher risk prole among patients, advances in surgical techniques— as well as in the whole spectrum of patient care— are associated with a continuous reduction in postopera­tive complications, even in contemporary practice. Future research

studies are warranted to enhance the selection of patients with multivessel disease who will benet from both modern CABG and PCI, and who are treated with optimal secondary prevention medi­cations. Unfortunately, there is a lack of ongoing studies in the eld.
Conclusion
In summary, the CABG guidelines on both sides of the Atlantic are globally concordant in multiple ways. Importantly, both recommend a ‘Heart Team’ approach for managing patients with complex stable CAD. ere are specic variances in these two guidelines due to the dierent timings of publication and methodological aspects. With the increasing number of clinical studies, guideline updates at regular intervals are becoming obligations for guideline developers to ensure the selection of the most appropriate treatment using the best contem­porary evidence. e ESC and the EACTS will issue a new version of the myocardial revascularization guidelines in 2021– 2022. Similarly, the ACC/ AHA have planned to update the American guidelines in the year to come. Joint forces from scientic societies are warranted to ensure broad implementation of clinical guidelines and optimize their adherence to improve patient safety and the quality of care.

Comprehensive secondary cardiovascular prevention and cardiac rehabilitation aercoronary artery bypass grasurgery

Introduction
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Although the age­standardized years of potential life lost per 1000 have decreased in recent years, more than 50years aer the rst coronary artery by­pass gra (CABG) surgery in 1964, the incidence and prevalence of ASCVD remain high. Following coronary revascularization, risk factor and lifestyle modications are critical for improving long- term outcomes. Comprehensive, exercise- based cardiac re­habilitation (CR) is an integral component of secondary preven­tion of ASCVD (Fig. 13.1).
Overview ofcardiacrehabilitation
CR is dened as ‘the provision of comprehensive long- term serv­ices involving medical evaluation, prescriptive exercise, cardiac risk factor modication and education, counselling, and behavioural interventions’. It is traditionally delivered in three or four phases and includes ve core components (Table 13.1).
Benefits ofand indications forcardiacrehabilitation
A systematic review and meta- analysis of randomized controlled trials of CR in patients with myocardial infarction (MI), angina, or coronary revascularization, including 63 studies in 14,486 par­ticipants, demonstrated reductions in cardiovascular mortality and hospital readmissions by 26% and 14%, respectively, as well as im­provements in many quality of life measures. Specically, patients who have undergone CABG have demonstrated 35– 46% risk reduc­tions in all- cause and cardiovascular mortality aer CR participa­tion., Other benets include decreased angina, increased exercise
capacity, and overall improvement in risk factor proles and quality of life.
Accordingly, the American Heart Association (AHA) statement on secondary prevention aer CABG recommends CR for all pa­tients aer CABG with early initiation postoperatively (classIrec­ommendation, level of evidence A). Similarly, the European Society of Cardiology and the European Association for Cardio- oracic Surgery Guidelines recommend that CR be initiated for all revascularized patients during the index admission, with exercise training serving as an integral component of the intervention.
Principles of exercisetraining
Cardiovascular response toexercise
In response to exercise training, organ systems respond to meet the associated increasing metabolic demands and energy expenditure. Modulations in heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), and blood pressure (BP) serve to increase the delivery of oxy­genated blood to metabolically active tissues. Initially, HR increases in a linear manner before gradually plateauing at a steady state. is is mediated by a withdrawal of parasympathetic stimulation or vagal tone followed by heightened sympathetic activity. Although max­imum HR may be approximated by the equation 220– age (in years) for healthy men and women, this widely used formula may under­estimate and overestimate the maximum or peak HR in older adults and cardiac patients, respectively. With an increase in le ventricular ejection fraction, SV increases in a hyperbolic fashion with exercise intensity, generally plateauing at 50% of the maximum oxygen con­sumption (VO max). Due to relative increases in HR and SV, CO (SV × HR) may be 20– 25 L/ min at maximum exercise in healthy, young adults. Systolic BP increases linearly with exercise intensity,

Unhealthy lifestyle practices
Fig.13.1 Cardiac rehabilitation and the ASCVD prevention pyramid. Pyramid (left) shows how unhealthy lifestyle practices lead to development
of risk factors, progression of ASCVD, and, ultimately, to adverse outcomes or clinical endpoints. There are three types of prevention:primordial (prevention of risk factors); primary (treatment of risk factors); and secondary (prevention of recurrent cardiovascular events), which can be modulated by environmental and psychosocial stressors, lifestyle changes, and cardioprotective medications, if appropriate. The first- line strategy to prevent initial or recurrent cardiac events is to favourably modify unhealthy lifestyle habits or practices, including poor dietary habits, physical inactivity, and cigarette smoking.

while diastolic BP typically decreases slightly or remains unchanged, resulting in an increase in pulse pressure.,
An individual’s cardiorespiratory tness is typically syn­onymous with their VO max, which is the highest rate of oxygen transport and utilization at maximum physical exertion. During exercise, VO increases linearly until it plateaus with increasing workloads at volitional fatigue, corresponding to the ‘true’ VO max. However, many inactive healthy adults and cardiac patients are unable to demonstrate the levelling o of oxygen consump­tion with increasing workloads. Most reach a level of fatigue or symptom- limited peak performance far below their physiological maximum, precluding attainment of a ‘true’ VO max. us, the highest attained level of oxygen consumption, or VO peak, may dier considerably from the physiological VO max. Derived by a rearrangement of the Fick equation, VO is HR × SV × (SaO– SvO) and represents somatic oxygen consumption (where VO=O consumption in mL/ min; HR in beats per minute; SaO– SvO=arteriovenous oxygen dierence or skeletal muscle oxygen uptake in mL O/ dL blood). e energy requirement for basal homeostasis is referred to as 1 metabolic equivalent (MET) which approximates 3.5 mL/ kg/ min for a 70kg male. Objective measures of cardiorespiratory tness, expressed as mL/ kg/ min or maximal METs, are powerful, independent predictors of mortality in patients with and without ASCVD.,
Cardioprotective benefits ofcardiorespiratory fitness and physicalactivity
Regular physical activity and increased cardiorespiratory tness provide potential cardioprotective benets via multiple mechan-
be attributed to decreased platelet aggregation and enhanced brin­olysis activity. Moreover, increased cardiorespiratory tness opti­mizes cardiac autonomic function, decreasing sympathetic activity and increasing vagal tone. Improved myocardial perfusion and is­chaemic preconditioning of the myocardium confer anti- ischaemic and antiarrhythmic benets, reducing infarct size and/ or the poten­tial for malignant ventricular arrhythmias.,
Cardiorespiratory tness is a powerful independent predictor of mortality in patients with ASCVD. In fact, each 1 MET increase in exercise capacity is associated with an 8– 35% decrease in mortality (median, 16%) in coronary patients— which compares favourably with the survival benet conferred by low- dose aspirin, statins, beta blockers, and angiotensin- converting enzyme inhibitors aer acute MI. In addition to optimizing medication dosing and addressing prescription nonadherence,–  lifestyle modication (poor dietary habits, physical inactivity, and cigarette smoking/ second- hand smoke) and CR should be recommended to all revascularized pa­tients for secondary prevention. e ultimate goal of this multi­disciplinary approach is to reduce patients’ cardiovascular risks, stabilize or even reverse their ASCVD, decrease or eliminate their symptoms, and enhance functional capacity to prevent recurrent cardiovascular events and the need for repeated revascularization procedures, while simultaneously providing referring physicians with serial surveillance data to potentially enhance their medical management.
In addition to cardiorespiratory tness, regular moderate- to­vigorous physical activity provides numerous other health benets, including decreased anxiety and depression, improved cognitive function, enhanced physical function, and reduced stress.

should be initially evaluated to ensure that they do not have residual signs/ symptoms of myocardial ischaemia, heart failure, or arrhyth­mias that might be precipitated or exacerbated by increasing levels of physical exertion. Providers should also assess patients’ exercise tolerance and establish baseline exercise training levels (workloads), as well as a target HR range. Medication adjustments should be carefully monitored to yield reproducible haemodynamic responses during outpatient CR sessions. e AHA recommends classifying patients into one of four categories according to their risk for exer­cise training (Table 13.2). Typical patients referred for outpatient CR are detailed in class B or C.
Exercise intensity withand withouta preliminary exercisetest
e general recommendations for exercise include a 5– 10- minute warm- up, 30– 60 minutes of continuous or accumulated moderate­to- vigorous intensity physical activity, and a 5– 10- minute cool­down, ideally 5 days a week. e prescribed exercise intensity should approximate 40– 80% of VO max or HR reserve, at a rating of perceived exertion (RPE) that corresponds to 11 (fairly light) to 16 (hard) on the Borg 6- to- 20 category scale. As the HR response to exercise in patients with ASCVD may be attenuated by medications (e.g. beta blockers), autonomic dysfunction, or both, RPE ratings may be particularly helpful in modulating the exercise intensity. Similarly, the ‘talk test’ provides an alternative method to gauge ex­ercise intensity, with patients advised to exercise at the highest in­tensity that enables them to carry on a conversation comfortably.
METs provide another measure of exercise intensity, as well as the associated energy expenditure. Moderate- intensity exercise, such as brisk walking, approximates 3– 6 METs, whereas vigorous exercise, such as jogging, is greater than 6 METs. However, the variability of METs based on age, sex, cardiorespiratory tness, and body ha­bitus is a limitation of this measure. Aer an acute cardiac event or revascularization intervention, the ability to tolerate approximately 5 METs without adverse signs/ symptoms is an indicator of safe re­turn to usual daily activities, such as resuming work or engaging in sexual activity.
One study compared the CR outcomes in 229 post- MI and CABG patients who had undergone preliminary peak or symptom- limited exercise testing with 271 matched patients who did not. All pa­tients underwent a 12- week CR programme, including electrocar­diographic telemetry monitoring for the rst 3– 6 weeks. e group with no preliminary exercise test started at a training intensity of
2– 3 METs and progressed using HR and RPE. Both groups showed similar physiological improvements, and there were no exercise­related cardiovascular events in either group. In the absence of a baseline exercise test, the threshold for training in CR can be ap­proximated by the patient’s standing resting HR plus 20– 30 beats/ min,, using RPE (‘fairly light’ to ‘s omewhat hard’) as an adjunctive intensity modulator. Our empirical experience and the previously referenced studies have demonstrated the safety and ecacy of early outpatient medically supervised CR in selected cardiac patients, in­cluding those who have undergone CABG, without a preliminary peak or symptom- limited exercise test.
Resistancetraining
Current CR programmes primarily focus on aerobic activity, as cardiorespiratory tness is a strong predictor of all- cause and car­diovascular mortality in patients with ASCVD. However, resist­ance training provides an eective method for improving muscular strength and endurance, preventing and managing a variety of chronic medical conditions, favourably modifying selected cor­onary risk factors, and enhancing functional independence and quality of life. It has also been shown to attenuate the rate- pressure product when liing any given load, potentially decreasing cardiac demands during daily activities such as carrying groceries or liing moderate- to- heavy objects.
Generally, 4 weeks of regular participation in a supervised cardio­vascular endurance exercise training should precede participation in resistance training. Patients should begin with one set of 10– 15 repetitions and progress to one to three sets of 8– 15 repetitions, on 2– 3 non- consecutive days per week. e training regimen should involve major muscle groups of the upper and lower extremities, such as chest press, biceps curl, or quadriceps extension. However, patients should be counselled to avoid the Valsalva manoeuvre, or forced expiration against a closed glottis, which causes increased intrathoracic pressure, decreased preload, and potentially reduced cardiac output and related sequelae (e.g. lightheadedness). Signs or symptoms of myocardial ischaemia may also result from dramatic acute increases in systolic BP and associated cardiac demands. Accordingly, resistance training is contraindicated in patients with unstable coronary disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and se­vere aortic stenosis. Specically, post- CABG patients should avoid engaging in conventional upper extremity resistance training within 5 weeks of their sternotomy, and remain cautious during upper body exertion with a weight liing limit of 4.5– 7kg (10– 15 pounds) for

Aerobic intervaltraining
High- intensity aerobic interval training may be an eective alter­native to continuous moderate- intensity training for improving ex­ercise tolerance in coronary patients with and without heart failure who are being optimally medically managed. e format involves intense exercise (90– 95% peak HR) for 3– 4- minute bouts alternated with lower- intensity (60– 70% peak HR) recovery periods of 3 min­utes. Compared to continuous, moderate- intensity exercise, interval training three times a week for 12 weeks has been shown to lead to greater improvements in peak VO, le ventricular remodelling, and
Some centres have adopted female- only CR classes in addition to traditional mixed- sex programming to improve enrolment in women. Both formats are associated with improved quality of life and increased physical activity levels. However, women attending female- only classes reported improved dietary habits and less de­pressive symptoms as compared with women attending mixed- sex classes.
Patients with systolic heart failure on optimal medical manage­ment may demonstrate modest additional reductions in all- cause mortality, hospitalization, and improved quality of life with CR. Following a prolonged warm- up period, heart failure patients should initially exercise at an intensity of 40– 60% of the peak oxygen up­take, or at an RPE of 10– 13 on the Borg 6- to- 20 scale, corresponding to ‘fairly light’ to ‘somewhat hard,’ as the HR response is oen im­paired in patients with heart failure.

approach can be more widely adopted.
Safety ofcardiacrehabilitation
Exercise training is safe in most patients with ASCVD and associ­ated with a low risk of acute cardiovascular events, especially under medical supervision. e risk of adverse, exercise- related cardiovas­cular events, such as cardiac arrest, MI, or death, is estimated to be 1 event in every 100,000 patient- hours of supervised exercise. More recently, a study involving three Norwegian CR centres reported an overall rate of cardiovascular complications of 1 per 58,607 hours of exercise. Accordingly, the AHA classication of risk of exercise training in the screening stage can be helpful in optimizing the safety of CR. Patients categorized as classC risk are advised to participate in a medically supervised programme for at least 8– 12 weeks aer the index event, to allow ample time to establish the safety of a pre­scribed moderate- to- vigorous intensity exercise regimen.
Despite strong evidence showing the benets and safety of CR, less than 30% of eligible patients in the United States participate in medic­ally supervised, structured CR programmes. e lack of a centralized method for referral; suboptimal communication among treatment teams, patients, and CR facilities; potential referring physicians’ lack of knowledge about CR; limited access; competing responsibilities; and perceived inconvenience for the patient are common reasons eligible patients are not being referred. Patient- specic barriers to CR participation include reduced functional capacity, obesity and/ or activity- limiting comorbid conditions, poor patient motivation, geographic inaccessibility, high insurance co- pays, and competing domestic or vocational responsibilities.
Alternative delivery models may be implemented to overcome a major patient barrier to CR— inaccessibility to CR facilities. Telemedicine and Internet- based programmes are promising alter­natives, especially for low- to intermediate- risk patients who are un-

CABG patients are oen older men and women with varied comorbidities and associated physical limitations. Elderly patients are at greater risk of deconditioning and disability aer a major car­diovascular event or coronary revascularization procedure. Due to their reduced functional capacity and higher rates of depression and social isolation, such patients may benet the most from CR programmes, but are less likely to be referred to CR than younger patients. Women are also less oen referred to CR, especially mi­nority women, despite studies that have demonstrated that women benet as much from CR participation as men. Furthermore, older post- MI patients generally participate less in exercise- based CR pro­grammes at 6months, as compared with their younger counterparts. In addition to low referral rates, low adherence appears to be a com­ponent of underutilization in the elderly. Referred women are also less likely to participate in CR at 1month aer an acute MI than men, even aer adjusting for demographic and clinical characteristics. Transportation problems and/ or caregiver responsibilities represent common barriers to attending conventional centre- based CR.

An emerging area of investigation related to CR is preoperative rehabilitation (prehab). Oentimes patients scheduled for elective CABG are instructed to avoid moderate- to- vigorous physical exer­tion which may lead to deconditioning, increased short- term mor­bidity and mortality, and prolonged recovery time following surgery. e concept of prehab involves medically supervised, low- intensity exercise training for patients awaiting surgery. Asystematic review reported that preoperative physical therapy in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery signicantly shortened the postoperative hospital stay by 3.2days, and reduced the risk of postoperative pul­monary complications. Moreover, Smith etal. reported that low preoperative VO peak (<5 METs) was associated with higher op­erative and 30- day mortality aer CABG (P <0.05). e PREHAB study is currently ongoing to clarify the impact on 3- and 12- month postoperative clinical outcomes in patients who receive prehab be­fore CABG and valvular surgeries.

SECTION 2 Treatment ofcoronary artery disease
Conclusion
Between 1980 and 2000, mortality rates from coronary heart dis­ease fell by more than 40%. Using a previously validated statistical model, researchers reported that approximately half the decline in cardiovascular deaths was attributed to reductions in conventional risk factors, and approximately half was due to contemporary med­ical therapies, including cardioprotective medications (e.g. aspirin, statins, beta blockers, and angiotensin- converting enzyme inhibi­tors), exercise- based CR, and initial treatments for acute MI. In con­trast, emergent and elective coronary revascularization accounted for only 7% of the overall decline in coronary mortality, highlighting the critical importance of cardiovascular risk reduction and aggres­sive medical management following CABG.
CR provides comprehensive, multidisciplinary services inte­gral to secondary prevention in CABG patients that reduces mor­tality, morbidity, and rehospitalization. In addition, CR facilitates improvement in quality of life and favourably impacts return to work and activities of daily living. Importantly, CR promotes sus­tainable, long- term behavioural modications that stabilize, if not improve, cardiovascular health, especially when combined with the independent and added benets of cardioprotective medications. Unfortunately, underutilization, from low referral and participation rates in patient subsets that may benet the most, remains a major challenge. Education of providers and healthcare systems regarding innovative strategies for CR delivery, such as internet or home- based programmes, are potential approaches to improving access to cost­eective and quality patient- centred care.
