Abstract:
Objective: To observe therapeutic effects of exercise rehabilitation therapy in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Method: A total of 60 CHF patients were randomly divided into routine treatment group (n=30) and exercise rehabilitation group (n=30, received exercise rehabilitation therapy based on routine anti heart failure drug treatment). Cardiac function, exercise capacity, 6min walking distance and rehospitalization rate of the patients were observed， therapeutic course was three months. Result: Total effective rate in exercise rehabilitation group was significantly higher than that of routine treatment group (93.3% vs. 80.0%, P<0.05). Compared with routine treatment group after treatment, there was significant improvement in clinic cardiac function [NYHA class: (1.96±0.89) classes vs. (1.48±0.72) classes, P<0.05], significant increase in exercise capacity [(4.01±0.82) METs vs. (5.24±1.16) METs] and 6 min walking distance [(322.5±23.4) m vs. (413.6±26.5) m, P<0.01 both] and significant decrease in rehospitalization rate (56.7% vs. 30.0%, P<0.05). Conclusion: Exercise rehabilitation therapy can improve cardiac function, increase exercise capacity and decrease rehospitalization rate in patients with chronic heart failure.
