Objective:To explore the effects of stepped exercise rehabilitation training on cardiopulmonary function and quality of life in patients with ischemic heart disease.Methods:This randomized controlled study enrolled 110 patients with ischemic heart disease admitted to Jiangsu Province Hospital between January 2021 and December 2023.Patients were randomly divided into control group(n=53,routine intervention program)and intervention group(n=52,additional stepped exercise rehabilitation training).After 3-month intervention,cardiopulmonary function[stroke volume(SV),cardiac index(CI),forced expiratory volume in the first second(FEV1),maximum voluntary ventilation(MVV)],quality of life[China questionnaire of quality of life in patients with cardiovascular diseases(CQQC)score],exercise endurance[exercise duration(ED),peak oxygen intake(VO2peak),anaerobic threshold(AT)]and incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)were compared between the two groups.Results:We included 53 patients[28 males(52.83％),age 40～69(56.25±7.76)years old]in control group compared to 52 patients[27 males(51.92％),age 40～71(55.25±2.40)years old]in the intervention group after 3-month intervention.Com-pared to patients in the control group,those in the intervention group had significantly higher SV[(65.46±3.58)ml vs.(61.69±3.78)ml],CI[(2.82±0.12)L·min-1·m-2 vs.(2.54±0.09)L·min-1·m-2],FEV1[(2.50±0.06)L vs.(2.31±0.06)L],MVV[(79.66±0.82)L/min vs.(77.16±1.09)L/min],CQQC score[(65.23±2.84)points vs.(47.98±3.25)points],ED[(382.62±31.19)s vs.(353.37±36.32)s],VQ2peak[(20.05±2.43)ml·kg-1·min-2 vs.(16.86±1.61)ml·kg-1·min-2]and AT[(13.34±0.83)ml·kg-1·min-2 vs.(11.46±0.89)ml·kg-1·min-2](P＜0.001 all),and significantly lower total incidence of MACE(11.54％vs.32.08％,P=0.011).Conclu-sion:Stepped exercise rehabilitation training may improve cardiopulmonary function,quality of life,and exercise endurance in patients with ischemic heart disease during the rehabilitation.

Medical therapy and surgical intervention are the two primary approaches for treating myocardial bridge.However,there remains controversy regarding the use of coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG)and myocardial bridge unroofing.Here,we report a case of myocardial infarction following CABG in a patient with a myocardial bridge.The patient was admitted to Lanzhou First Peopie's Hospital with persistent chest pain,chest tightness,and shortness of breath lasting 2 hours.Physical examination revealed no significant abnormalities.Electrocardiography(ECG)indicated extensive anterior wall myocardial infarction.Laboratory findings showed myoglobin levels of 140.1 ng/ml and troponin Ⅰ levels of 2.59 ng/ml,with no other significant abnormalities.The initial diagnosis was acute extensive anterior wall myocardial infarction.Emergency coronary angiography revealed a myocardial bridge in the mid-segment of the left anterior descending artery(LAD).Emergency CABG using the left internal mammary artery to the LAD was performed,leading to symptomatic improvement,and the patient was discharged in stable condition.However,the patient experienced a recurrent myocardial infarction seven years post-surgery and received secondary preventive medical therapy.The patient is currently under ongoing follow-up care.CABG is an effective treatment for myocardial bridge.However,based on the case reported in this study,we recommend careful evaluation of whether a patient may benefit from CABG.
