Cardiovascular and pulmonary physiotherapy is physical therapy directed at the heart and lungs, including the care physiotherapists give patients recovering from coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Interventions such as deep breathing exercises are widely used in this recovery, though the available evidence does not fully support some of the practices already in common clinical use, and standardized guidelines have been proposed to better match practice to current research.
