Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of cardiac rehabilitation prescriptions on medication complications, Endothelin 1 (ET-1), and Wall Motion Score Index (WMSI) in elderly patients with coronary heart disease. METHODS: 98 elderly patients with coronary heart disease admitted to the Department of Cardiology of a hospital from January 2020 to June 2022 are selected. According to the red and blue ball method, 98 research subjects are divided into a control group and an observation group. The control group receives routine treatment and exercise intervention, while the observation group receives cardiac rehabilitation prescriptions. After a follow-up of 6 months, the incidence of medication complications between the two groups is compared. The changes in ET-1 and WMSI levels are compared before treatment, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after treatment. RESULTS: The two groups had no significant difference in ET-1 and WMSI levels before intervention. After intervention, both groups showed significant reductions in ET-1 and WMSI compared with baseline. The ET-1 of the observation group decreased significantly faster than the control group after 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months of intervention. The WMSI decreased more significantly at 6 months. The repeated measurement variance showed that there was a significant difference in the trend of ET-1 changes between the two groups, while the difference between the WMSI groups was not significant. The incidence of medication complications in the observation group was 10.20%, significantly lower than the 26.53% in the control group. CONCLUSION: Cardiac rehabilitation prescriptions can reduce the incidence of medication complications in elderly patients with coronary heart disease. It can reduce ET-1 levels faster, improve myocardial motor function, which has better myocardial function and medication safety than conventional treatment.
