Abstract:

This paper aims to explore the comprehensive effect of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation on the exercise capacity, cardiopulmonary function and cognitive function in elderly coronary heart disease (CHD) patients who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The functional changes of 7 patients with PCI are observed before and after 12 weeks of exercise training. It is learned that the exercise capacity, cardiopulmonary function and cognitive function of the 7 patients are significantly improved after exercise training. The results indicate that exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation has positive effect on elderly CHD patients who have received PCI, and that it is conductive to improve the quality of life and reduce morbidity and mortality.

Key words: exercise training, coronary heart disease (CHD), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
