Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of Baduanjin combined with health education in patients of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF).
Methods:According to the method of random numbers, 100 HFPEF patients were divided into the observation group and the control group, 50in each group. The control group was given routine therapy and health education, while the observation group was given Baduanjin on the basis of the therapy of control group. With 3 months follow-up, heart function, symptom distress and quality of life in HFPEF patients were observed and compared.
Results:After intervention, the observation group's 6-minute walking test results were significantly higher than the control group (505.10 ± 52.08 m vs. 442.50 ± 41.35 m; t=-2.977, P=0.008). The improvement of dyspnea, edema, fatigue, palpitations, loss of appetite, chest strength and body weight in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (t were 2.885, 5.422, 9.333, 5.444, 5.199, 5.020, 5.657, 5.081, all Ps<0.05), and the improvement of the observation group in the physical, emotional and other areas of life quality was significantly better than that in the control group (t were 2.764, 3.818, 3.623, all Ps<0.05).
Conclusions:Baduanjin combined with health education can improve heart function, symptom distress and quality of life of patients of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
