The Effect of Taichi Rehabilitation Excercises on Angina Pectoris Attack, Quality of Life and Cardiorespiratory Reserve in Stable Angina Pectoris
To investigate the effectiveness and safety of the rehabilitation training of Taichi for treatment of stable angina pectoris (SAP).
Methods
2
Seventy-two SAP patients were randomly divided into rehabilitation group (36 cases) and control group (36 cases). The control group received conventional treatment, and the rehabilitation group received Taichi training program for 3 months in addition to the conventional treatment. The frequency of angina attacks assessed through Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) and the quality of life evaluated by the MOS 36-item short-form healty survey (SF-36), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were collected before treatment, after treatment and after follow-up of six months; the serum molecular biological indexes including blood glucose (GLU), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), C-reactive protein (CRP), serum homocysteine (HCY) and uric acid (UA)) and the cardiopulmonary reserve function indexes including maximum oxygen uptake (VO
2
max) and 6-minute walking distance (6MWD)) were assessed before and after treatment, and were compared between groups; the major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and adverse events were recorded.
Results
2
Totally, 32 subjects in the rehabilitation group and 33 in the control group were included for statistical analysis. The total score of SAQ and SF-36 in both groups were significantly increased after treatment and at follow-up of six months, while SAS and SDS scores decreased (
P
<0.001); and more changes were seen in rehabilitation group than in the control group (
P
<0.01). After treatment, GLU, LDL-C, TG, TC, CRP, HCY and UA in the rehabilitation group decreased compared to those before treatment, while VO
2
max and 6MWD were significantly increased (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01); the levels of GLU, TG, CRP, CHO and Hcy in the rehabilitation group were lower than those in the control group, while VO
2
max and 6MWD significantly increased (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.001). During rehabilitation, no MACE occurred; there was no sports injuries in the rehabilitation group, and no abnormalities of liver or kidney function in both two groups.
Conclusions
2
Taichi exercises can improve cardiopulmonary function and the quality of life of SAP patients, which may relate to the decrease of blood lipid level, and is considered to be safe.
