Effect of early rehabilitation treatment on quality of life in patients with acute myocardial infarction
Abstract：Aim Early exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation programs(CRP)could improve effort tolerance in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).We examined how it could improve quality of life(QOL). Methods 21 patients with AMI had finished the early CPR.Chinese version WHO QOL-brief questionnaire(WHOQ) includes 5 domains.To assess their QOL with WHOQ and other QOL questionnaires(QOLQ)( score 1 to 5 scale) . Results Their scores of subjective feeling were higher than control group(P< 0.001) in WHOQ.In other domains,for example,physical health,psychological and environment,their scores were higher than control group(all P< 0.001).In social relationship domain,including personal relationship,social support and sexual activity,the scores had no statistical difference.There wasn't difference in quality of life index,either.Conclusion QOL in patients with AMI who took early CRP improve obviously,but how to select questionnaires scales of QOL still needs further study.
