Abstract:
Objective:To explore the influence of cardiac rehabilitation therapy on the postoperative quality of life, cardiac function and prognosis of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic value replacement (TAVR).Methods:A total of 182 patients with aortic valve stenosis who underwent TAVR in the Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2021 to May 2023 were selected as the research subjects. The patients were divided into the observation group and the control group by the random number table method, with 91 cases in each group. The control group was given conventional drug treatment after the operation, while the observation group was given conventional drug treatment + cardiac rehabilitation treatment after the operation. The baseline clinical data, quality of life before and after intervention (Minnesota Quality of Life Scale score), cardiac function [6-minute walking distance (6MWT), B-type brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)] of the two groups of patients were compared. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), and the incidence of adverse events one year after TAVR were evaluated using the Cox regression model to assess the effect of cardiac rehabilitation therapy on the occurrence of adverse events one year after TAVR. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to compare the cumulative rate of no adverse events one year after TAVR in the two groups of patients.Results:After the intervention in both groups, the Minnesota Quality of Life Scale score, 6MWT, BNP, and LVEF were significantly improved compared with those before the intervention (all P<0.05), and the Minnesota Quality of Life Scale score, 6MWT, BNP, and LVEF in the observation group after the intervention were better than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The incidences of stroke and heart failure in the observation group one year after TAVR were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that cardiac rehabilitation significantly reduced the risk of adverse events one year after TAVR in patients ( HR: 0.72; 95% CI: 0.46-0.97; P=0.035). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the cumulative rate of no adverse events at 3, 6, and 12 months after TAVR in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (94.3%, 89.5%, 76.8% vs 83.4%, 74.6%, 57.8%, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Cardiac rehabilitation therapy can significantly improve the postoperative quality of life and cardiac function of patients with TAVR, bringing obvious survival benefits to such patients.
