RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of treadmill testing guided-rehabilitation exercises upon quality of life (QOL) of patients who underwent revascularization for coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods All the participants received routine therapy and rehabilitation for 6 weeks.A 36-item short-form (SF-36) was used to assess QOL of the patients.Results Injured functioning of patients who received revascularization for CHD were physiological function ( 37.86 ),social function ( 43.67 ),vitality (45.58),physical performance ( 65.45 ),mental health ( 68.73 ),role emotion ( 71.30 ),physical pain ( 79.52 ),and general health ( 86.75 ).After intervention,physiology function ( 37.86 ± 8.49 vs 62.13 ± 10.53 ),social function (43.67 ±26.23 vs 56.98 ± 18.89),vitality (45.58 ±27.01 vs 77.42 ±23.48),and physical pain (79.52 ±9.05 vs 87.32 ± 13.14) were significantly improved.Conclusion Rehabilitation exercises and behavioral psychological treatment may be beneficial to improve QOL of patients undergoing revascularization for CHD.
