Effects of Baduanjin on Cardiovascular Function and Quality of Life in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure Due to Coronary Heart Disease
Objective To explore the effects of Baduanjin on cardiovascular function and quality of life in the patients with chronic heart failure due to coronary heart disease.Methods Sixty patients with chronic heart failure due to coronary heart disease treated in Weihai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2021 to June 2022 were enrolled in this study.They were randomized by the random number table method into an intervention group and a control group,with 30 patients in each group.The control group was introduced to perform a routine rehabilitation exercise,while the intervention group was introduced to perform Baduanjin exercise on the basis of the routine rehabilitation exercise.The intervention lasted for 12 weeks.The cardiopulmonary function,quality of life,cardiovascular events,and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)symptoms of the two groups were compared before and after 4,8,and 12 weeks of intervention.Results The intervention group showed improved cardiopulmonary function and quality of life and relieved TCM symptoms compared with the control group.Moreover,the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events in the intervention group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Baduanjin can promote the recovery of heart function,enhance exercise ability,improve the quality of life,and reduce the risk of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with chronic heart failure due to coronary heart disease.
