Carrying out heart surgery is a strict contraindication to smoking. Smoking leads to a decrease in oxygen supply to the myocardium, which, in turn, provokes the development of coronary heart disease and the development of postoperative complications. In the case of coronary artery bypass surgery, smoking reduces the duration of operation of the shunts. Smoking also increases the likelihood of developing a myocardial infarction.
In order to reduce the likelihood of complications after coronary artery bypass surgery and increase physical and social activity, cardiac rehabilitation is carried out. It includes therapeutic nutrition, dosed exercise regimen, preventive drug treatment and lifestyle recommendations for patients. These events are carried out at home and in specialized sanatoriums.
