Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of yoga exercise on exercise capacity, anxiety and depression in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Methods 75 patients with emergency PCI in Cardiology Department of a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital in Zhengzhou from January to December in 2017 were seclected as subjects and randomly divided into control group (n=37) and intervention group (n=38) by convenient sampling. The control group received routine care, including health education, psychological care, risk factor control, medication and routine exercise education;the intervention group implemented a yoga-based exercise based on the control group. The incidence of adverse cardiac events after intervention was compared between the two groups. Before and after the intervention, the 6-min walk test (6MWT), the Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) were used to evaluate the two groups of patients. Results Within 6 months of interventional therapy, 11 patients in the control group developed angina pectoris, and 3 patients in the intervention group developed angina pectoris. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). The differences of 6MWT distances between the two groups at 1st, 3rd, and 6th months after discharge were statistically significant (P< 0.05). The differences of SAS scores between the two groups at 1st, 3rd, and 6th months after discharge were statistically significant (P < 0.05). There were significant differences in SDS scores between the two groups at discharge, and 1, 3, and 6 months after discharge (P < 0.05). Conclusions Yoga-based exercise program can improve the exercise capacity of patients with acute myocardial infarction and relieve anxiety and depression.
