【Abstract】Objective To explore the value of cardiac rehabilitation training in improving the daily living ability, cardiac function and quality of life of the elderly patients with chronic coronary heart disease. Methods The study objects included 160 elderly patients with stable angina pectoris with chronic coronary heart disease, who underwent elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Beijing Tiantan Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from May 2019 to October 2021. The patients were divided into an observation group (n=80) and control group (n=80) by random number table method. The control group received routine intervention after PCI, and the observation group received cardiac rehabilitation training intervention on the basis of routine intervention. The cardiac function [left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV)], quality of life and daily living ability were compared between the two groups before and after intervention. The incidence of adverse cardiovascular events within six months after PCI was counted. SPSS 22.0 was used to process the data, and one-way ANOVA, t test orχ2 test was used for inter-group comparison according to the data type. Results After intervention, LVEF in the observation group was significantly higher, and LVEDV was significantly lower than that in the control group (t=5.852,12.850; P<0.05). The scores of each dimension of the quality of life and daily living ability at four and six months after intervention in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences (t=2.525,3.682,3.099,2.857,2.497,2.167,2.243; P<0.05). The overall incidence of cardiovascular adverse events in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group , and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=4.717; P<0.05). Conclusion Cardiac rehabilitation training in the elderly patients with stable angina pectoris due to chronic coronary heart disease can improve cardiac function, contributing to the improvement of their daily living ability and quality of life, and it is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
