Abstract:
Objective:To explore influence of rehabilitation exercise on daily living capacity in aged patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) .Methods :A total of 60 aged CHF patients were randomly and equally divided into rou‐tine treatment group (received routine CHF treatment and nursingcare ) and rehabilitation exercise group (received rehabilitation exercise based on routine treatmentgroup ) .Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level ,left ventricular e‐jection fraction (LVEF) ,daily living capacity and 6min walking distance (6MWD) were measured and evaluated in both groups at hospitalization and six weeks after treatment .Results:After six‐month treatment ,BNP level signifi‐cantly reduced and LVEF significantly rose in both groups ,and there were significant rise in 6MWD and daily living score in rehabilitation exercise group ,P<0.05 or <0.01 ;compared with routine treatment group ,there was signif‐icant reduction in BNP level [ (525.3 ± 113.2) pg/ml vs .(252.2 ± 114.5) pg/ml] ,and significant rise in LVEF [ (43.46 ± 9.12)% vs .(47.24 ± 8.46)% ] ,6MWD [ (286.6 ± 46.2) mm vs .(582.5 ± 55.3) mm] and daily living score [ (65.12 ± 17.6) scores vs .(82 ± 14.8) scores] in rehabilitation exercise group , P<0.05 or <0.01. Conclu‐sion:Rehabilitation exercise can significantly improve heart function ,raise daily living capacity in aged patients with chronic heart disease .
