Rehabilitation therapeutic effect of aerobic exercise in aged patients with chronic heart failure / 心血管康复医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore safety and therapeutic effect of aerobic rehabilitative exercise in patients with chro-nic heart failure (CHF).Methods:A total of 118 aged CHD patients were selected.According to random number table method,patients were randomly divided into routine treatment group and aerobic exercise group.Patients were followed up for six months,and cardiac function and related indexes were compared between two groups.Re-sultsCompared with before treatment,after six-month intervention,there were significant improvements in NY-HA class,left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)and left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDd)in both groups,P 0.05).Conclusion:Aerobic training can significantly improve cardiac function of CHF patients,it's safe and effec-tive,and suitable for secondary prevention of CHF patients.
