Summary
This study tests whether adding a special breathing exercise device (IMT Threshold) to standard rehab can help people recover faster after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The goal is to reduce time in the hospital and prevent serious breathing complications like pneumonia. The trial will include 42 adults over age 45 who have stable circulation and normal thinking ability.

Active substance
IMT Threshold device (breathing exercise device) plus standard rehabilitation
What this could lead to
If successful, this could shorten hospital stays and lower the risk of breathing problems after heart bypass surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 42 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is simple and may not show a big benefit.
