Acute Myocardial Infarction
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of this CR program on the improvement of myocardial function using the three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3D-STE) in AMI patients.
Detailed description
The effect of early short-term home-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program on left ventricular function in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients is not clear yet.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALentailing an early home-based CR program
enter the early outpatient phase of CR program. The progressive exercise training of this phase was performed without supervision after their discharge. The CR program consisted of a five-minute warm-up period (stretching), a twenty-minute aerobic exercise (walking or trotting, gymnastics), and a five-minute cooling-down period (stretching)
OTHERenter the usual care program
enter the usual care program, including the importance of carrying out physical activity, which was performed during inpatient care.
