Influence of nursing cardiac rehabilitation on cardiac function and quality of life in patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention
Clinical Report: Impact of Nursing-Led Cardiac Rehabilitation on Cardiac Function
Overview
This study evaluates the effects of nursing-led cardiac rehabilitation on cardiac function and quality of life in coronary heart disease patients post-percutaneous coronary intervention. Results indicate significant improvements in cardiac metrics and quality of life for patients receiving structured rehabilitation compared to standard care.
Background
Coronary heart disease (CHD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, often necessitating interventions like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Despite successful revascularization, patients frequently face challenges in cardiac recovery and quality of life. Effective cardiac rehabilitation is essential for enhancing recovery and preventing further complications.

Key Findings
Nursing cardiac rehabilitation significantly reduced left ventricular end-systolic and end-diastolic diameters.
Left ventricular ejection fraction improved in the observation group compared to the control group.
The observation group showed a greater increase in 6-minute walking distance post-rehabilitation.
Adverse cardiovascular events were significantly lower in the observation group.
Quality of life scores improved across all domains for the observation group.
Nursing satisfaction levels were significantly higher in the observation group.
Clinical Implications
Implementing structured nursing-led cardiac rehabilitation can lead to improved cardiac function and quality of life for patients post-PCI. Healthcare providers should consider integrating such rehabilitation programs into standard post-operative care to enhance recovery outcomes.
Conclusion
Nursing-led cardiac rehabilitation demonstrates significant benefits in cardiac performance and quality of life for patients with CHD following PCI, highlighting its importance in clinical practice.
