Therapeutic effect of early exercise rehabilitation in patients with acute myocardial infarction / 心血管康复医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effect of early exercise rehabilitation in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods:A total of 64 AMI patients with stable vital signs were randomly divided into early exercise reha-bilitation group (n=32)and routine rehabilitation group (n=32)according to number table method.Early exercise rehabilitation group received early exercise rehabilitation guidance by rehabilitation therapists on first day after on-set,while routine rehabilitation group received exercise rehabilitation guidance by rehabilitation therapists of same qualification after one-week absolute bed rest.Besides,the two groups received same therapy and nursing.Incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEre-infarction,death,severe arrhythmias,angina pectoris after in-farction and heart failure),hospitalization days and condktion of life self-care ability were observed,compared and analyzed between two groups.Results:Before discharge,there were no significant difference in MACE incidence rate (40.63% vs.43.75%)and percentages of patients with life self-care ability (100% vs.96.88%)between early exercise rehabilitation group and routine rehabilitation group,P >0.05,but length of hospital stay in early rehabili-tation group [(9.23±1.45)d]was significantly shorter than that of routine rehabilitation group [(15.03±2.53) d],P <0.01. Conclusion:Early exercise rehabilitation training can shorten length of hospital stay and is safe in pa-tients with acute myocardial infarction.
