ObjectiveTo explore the effect of exercise rehabilitation treatment on exercise endurance, cardiopulmonary function and life quality in patients with chronic stable heart failure. MethodsA total of 80 patients with chronic stable heart failure admitted to our hospital were selected as the objects, and were randomly divided into control group (38 cases) and observation group (42 cases). The control group received conventional treatment, whereas the observation group underwent exercise rehabilitation on the basis of conventional treatment. The exercise endurance, cardiopulmonary function and the improvement condition of life quality between the two groups were compared. ResultsAfter 12 weeks of treatment, peak oxygen consumption (peak VO2), oxygen consumption at anaerobic threshold (VO2 AT), maximum exercise power, maximum exercise time, and 6-minute walking distance were significantly increased in the two groups, and the abovementioned levels were significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group. The left atrial volume index (LAVI) and the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLWHFQ) scores were significantly decreased in both groups, whereas the left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were significantly increased. The LAVI and MLWHFQ of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, whereas the LVMI and LVEF were higher in the observation group than in the control group, with statistically significant difference (P＜0.05). ConclusionExercise rehabilitation in the treatment of patients with chronic stable heart failure can significantly improve exercise endurance, cardiopulmonary function and life quality.
