Effectiveness of TCM Health Management for Myocardial Infarction based on Tertiary Management System: A Single-arm Cohort Study of 255 Patients
To evaluate the efficacy of TCM health management based on tertiary management system for patients with myocardial infarction (MI).
Methods
2
A total of 277 patients with non-acute MI were enrolled and given comprehensive TCM health management strategies including health education, lifestyle adjustment, risk factors control, medication and TCM appropriate techniques management through a tertiary management system with "the patient as the core, village/community physicians as the main executive body, and tertiary TCM hospital specialists as the leading body", for a period of 12 months by using a prospective single-arm cohort study. Through patient reporting and medical records surveys, various indicators before and after 12-month management were collected and compared. The primary efficacy indicators were readmission rate and recurrent exacerbation rate, and the secondary efficacy indicators included disease awareness-related indicators, lifestyle behavior-related indicators, cardiovascular risk factor-related indicators and Canadian cardiovascular society (CCS) cardiac function classification.
Results
2
A total of 255 patients completed the study and were included in the final analysis. The recurrent exacerbation and readmission rates of patients after management were 23.14% (59 cases) and 20.25% (49 cases), respectively, significantly lower than 36.08% (92 cases) and 53.72% (130 cases) before management (
P
<0.05). Except for knowledge on diabetes diagnostic criteria with no significant difference before and after management (
P
>0.05), awareness of other knowledge with regard to the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases were improved after management (
P
<0.01), as well as the total score (
P
<0.01). In terms of daily life behaviors, the rates of salty diet, sweet diet and greasy diet were significantly lower than baseline, while the rate of moderate exercise was significantly higher (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01); the rates of ongoing smoking and vigorous exercise were not significantly changed (
P
>0.05). For cardiovascular risk factors, patients' total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting glucose, total depression assessment scale score, and total anxiety assessment scale score were significantly reduced after management (
P
<0.01). Systolic blood pressure and body mass index (BMI) were both higher after management (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01), and there was no statistically significant difference in diastolic blood pressure (
P
>0.05). In terms of the cardiovascular disease risk factors reaching the standard levels, the rate of LDL cholesterol <1.8 mmol/L significantly increased (
P
<0.01), while the rate of BMI <24 kg/m
2
and the rate of systolic blood pressure <140 mmHg both decreased significantly (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01) from baseline; the diastolic blood pressure and rate of fasting glucose <7.0 mmol/L were not significantly changed (
P
>0.05). The patients' CCS cardiac function classification was significantly reduced (
P
<0.05).
Conclusion
2
TCM health management based on the tertiary management system can enhance MI patients' awareness of the disease, change poor lifestyle habits, reduce risk factors such as blood lipids and blood glucose, improve anxiety and depression, increase activity tolerance, and reduce their recurrence exacerbation and readmission rates, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
