The aim of this study is to assess the impact of intensive risk awareness management along with cardiac rehabilitation nursing in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction and heart failure. We selected 101 elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction and heart aging treated from January 2022 to March 2023. They were divided into control and observation groups based on hospitalization numbers. The control group (n = 50) received routine nursing, while the observation group (n = 51) received intensive risk awareness management and cardiac rehabilitation nursing. We compared medication possession ratio (MPR), cardiac function, self-care ability scale scores, quality-of-life, incidents, and satisfaction between the 2 groups. Before intervention, there was no significant difference in MPR values between the 2 groups ( P > .05). After intervention, MPR values increased in both groups, with a greater increase in the observation group ( P .05), but after intervention, the observation group had lower left ventricular end-systolic and diastolic diameters and higher left ventricular ejection fraction compared to the control group ( P < .05). Self-care skills, health knowledge, self-responsibility, and self-concept scores improved in both groups after intervention, with higher scores in the observation group ( P < .05). The observation group had higher scores in various quality-of-life domains ( P < .05). The total incidence of adverse events was lower in the observation group (5.88%) compared to the control group (20.00%) ( P < .05). Patient satisfaction was significantly higher in the observation group (96.08%) than in the control group (84.00%) ( P < .05). Intensive risk awareness management combined with cardiac rehabilitation nursing in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction and heart aging can enhance medication compliance, improve quality-of-life, enhance self-care abilities, boost cardiac function, reduce incidents, and increase patient satisfaction.
