Effect of new cardiac rehabilitation mode on cardiac function, mental state and quality of life of postoperative patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with atorvastatin calcium tablet.

The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of a new cardiac rehabilitation mode on the cardiac function, mental state and quality of life of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with atorvastatin calcium tablets.A total of 120 AMI patients treated with PCI and atorvastatin calcium tablets between January 2018 and January 2019 were recruited and assigned 1:1 to receive either novel cardiac rehabilitation (experimental group) or conventional cardiac rehabilitation (control group), with 60 cases in each group. Outcome measures for evaluating the effectiveness of the novel cardiac rehabilitation mode included cardiac function indices, 6 minutes walking distance test (6MWD), adverse mental state, quality of life (QOL), incidence of complications, and satisfaction on recovery.Patients after novel cardiac rehabilitation care showed better cardiac function than those with conventional care (p<0.001). Patients had longer 6MWD and higher QOL after novel cardiac rehabilitation care vs. those given conventional care (p<0.001). The lower scores of adverse mental state in the experimental group suggested a better psychological status of patients after receiving novel cardiac rehabilitation care when compared with those with conventional care (p<0.001). Patients were also more satisfied with the novel modality of cardiac rehabilitation care than with conventional care (p<0.05).The new cardiac rehabilitation mode can effectively improve the cardiac function of AMI patients after PCI plus atorvastatin calcium tablets, enhance their cardiac function, mitigate their negative emotions, and reduce the risk of complications. Further trials are required prior to clinical promotion.
