 Our study aims to incorporate rehabilitation for psychological factors along with Cardiac rehabilitation using the Buteyko breathing technique among such population.
 Methods: Total 44 Post CABG patients after enrolment in the study will be divided into 2 groups to evaluate anxiety, depression, and self-efficacy, Conventional group (n=22) which receive in-hospital Cardiac rehabilitation for 2 weeks whereas the other group, the Experimental group (n=22) will receive In-hospital Cardiac rehabilitation along with Buteyko Breathing training.
 Discussion: Anchoring rehabilitation for psychological consequences in patients with CABG surgery will play a major role in fostering recovery, decrease the cost of Medicare and ameliorate symptoms. This will pave a path to incorporate the Buteyko breathing technique along with Cardiac rehabilitation as a holistic approach for CABG patients.
