Effects of early rehabilitative intervention on heart rate variability and quality of life in patients with uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction
Abstract：AIM:To investigate the effects of early rehabilitative intervention on heart rate variability (HRV) and quality of life in patients with uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction(AMI). METHODS:One hundred and eighty-five consecutive patients with uncomplicated AMI were prospectively randomized into early rehabilitation group(Group 1,n=91) and controlled group(Group 2, n=94).Patients in the two groups were well-matched in terms of major basic materials.Patients in group 1 received early rehabilitation programme.Patients in group 2 received traditional rehabilitation programme.All subjects received 24-hour ambulatory electricardiogram (Holter) and HRV analysis within two weeks of onset of AMI,their self-care ability and psychosis were evaluated before discharge. RESULTS:No significant difference were found between the two groups in terms of all HRV data and Lown classification of ventricular arrhythmias >Ⅲ in Holter monitoring,but their self-care ability and psychosis were improved in early rehabilitation group. CONCLUSION:Early rehabilitation programme does not affect HRV in patients with uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction,thus does not affect myocardial electrical stability,meanwhile improve ability of self-care and quality of life.And it also suggests early rehabilitation programme is safe and feasible for patients with acute myocardial infarction from other view of point.
