Key Result

Exercise rehabilitation therapy significantly improved cardiopulmonary function, cardiac pumping function, NT-proBNP levels, and quality of life in elderly patients with chronic heart failure (P<0.05).

Key Points

  • This research aims to investigate the impact of exercise rehabilitation therapy on cardiopulmonary and cardiac function in elderly patients with chronic heart failure.
  • Randomized trial with 92 elderly chronic heart failure patients divided into rehabilitation (46) and control (46) groups using random number tables.
  • Control group received standard medication; rehabilitation group supplemented this with exercise therapy for 3 months.
  • Measured outcomes included anaerobic threshold, VO2max, NT-proBNP levels, left ventricular ejection fraction, and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire scores.
  • After intervention, the rehabilitation group demonstrated significant improvements in anaerobic threshold and VO2max compared to baseline and were higher than the control group (P<0.05).
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction improved, and left ventricular end-systolic volume and end-diastolic volume decreased significantly in the rehabilitation group compared to baseline and control (P<0.05).
  • NT-proBNP levels and Minnesota scores were significantly lower in the rehabilitation group post-intervention (P<0.05).

Structured PICO

Does exercise rehabilitation therapy improve cardiopulmonary function, cardiac pumping function, NT-proBNP, and quality of life in elderly patients with chronic heart failure?

P
Population
92 elderly patients with chronic heart failure randomized to receive exercise rehabilitation therapy plus conventional care or conventional care alone for 3 months.
I
Intervention
Exercise rehabilitation therapy added to routine drug intervention for 3 months
C
Comparator
Routine drug intervention alone
O
Outcome
Cardiopulmonary function (AT, VO2max, O2pulse), cardiac pumping function (LVEF, LVEDV, LVESV), NT-proBNP, and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) scores at 3 monthssurrogate

Exercise rehabilitation therapy added to routine medical care significantly improves exercise capacity, cardiac function, biomarker levels, and quality of life in elderly patients with chronic heart failure.

Abstract

摘要: 目的 探讨运动康复疗法对老年慢性心力衰竭(CHF)患者心肺功能、心脏泵血功能、B型钠尿肽前体(NT-proBNP)及生活质量的影响。 方法 选取2023年3月—2024年1月齐齐哈尔医学院附属第一医院收治的92例CHF患者为研究对象,采用随机数表法分为康复组与对照组,各46例。对照组接受常规药物干预,康复组在对照组基础上增加运动康复疗法。干预3个月后,比较两组无氧阈(AT)、最大摄氧量(VO2max)、每搏氧耗量(O2pulse)、NT-proBNP、左心室射血分数(LVEF)、左心室舒张末期容积(LVEDV)、左心室收缩末期容积(LVESV)及明尼苏达评分(MLHFQ)。 结果 干预前,两组AT、VO2max、O2pulse比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);干预后,康复组AT、VO2max、O2pulse均高于干预前,且康复组AT、VO2max、O2pulse均显著高于对照组(PP>0.05)。干预前,两组LVEF、LVESV、LVEDV比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);干预后,康复组LVEF高于干预前,LVESV、LVEDV均低于干预前,且康复组LVEF高于对照组,LVESV、LVEDV均低于对照组(PP>0.05)。干预前,两组NT-proBNP水平、MLHFQ评分比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);干预后,康复组NT-proBNP水平、MLHFQ评分均低于干预前,且康复组NT-proBNP水平、MLHFQ评分均低于对照组(PP>0.05)。 结论 运动康复疗法能有效改善老年CHF患者的心肺功能指标、心脏泵血功能指标及NT-proBNP水平,提高患者生活质量。

QI et al. (2026) conducted an RCT in Chronic Heart Failure (n=92). Exercise rehabilitation therapy vs. Conventional drug intervention was evaluated on Cardiopulmonary function, cardiac pumping function, NT-proBNP, and quality of life (p=<0.05). Exercise rehabilitation therapy significantly improved cardiopulmonary function, cardiac pumping function, NT-proBNP levels, and quality of life in elderly patients with chronic heart failure (P<0.05).
