Abstract
BACKGROUND

Cardiovascular disease, particularly myocardial infarction (MI) profound impact on patients' quality of life and places a substantial burden on the healthcare and economy systems. Developments in medical technology have led to the emergence of coronary intervention as an essential method for treating MI.

AIM

To assess the effects of cardiac rehabilitation care on cardiac function recovery and negative emotions in MI after coronary intervention.

METHODS

This study included a total of 180 patients with MI during the period from June 2022 to July 2023. Selected patients were divided into two groups: An observation group, which receiving cardiac rehabilitation care; a control group, which receiving conventional care. By comparing multiple observation indicators such as cardiac function indicators, blood pressure, exercise tolerance, occurrence of adverse cardiac events, and negative emotion scores between the two groups of patients. All the data were analyzed and compared between two groups.

RESULTS

There were 44 males and 46 females in the observation group with an average age of 36.26 ± 9.88 yr; there were 43 males and 47 females in the control group, with an average age of 40.87 ± 10.5 yr. After receiving the appropriate postoperative nursing measures, the results of the observation group showed significant improvement in several indicators compared with the control group. Indicators of cardiac function, such as left ventricular end-diastolic internal diameter and left ventricular ejection fraction were significantly better in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Exercise endurance assessment showed that the 6-minute walking test distance was significantly increased in the patients of the observation group (P < 0.01). In addition, the incidence of adverse cardiac events was significantly lower in the observation group, and negative mood scores were significantly reduced (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Cardiac rehabilitation care after coronary intervention has a significant positive impact on functional recovery. This emphasizes the importance of cardiac rehabilitation care to improve patient recovery.

Core Tip: Among them, myocardial infarction, as a serious cardiovascular disease, not only brings a huge impact on the quality of life of patients, but also causes a huge burden to the medical system and social economy. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of cardiac rehabilitation care on cardiac function recovery and negative emotions in patients with myocardial infarction after coronary intervention. This emphasizes the importance of promoting cardiac rehabilitation care to improve patient recovery and overall health.
