EL EJERCICIO FÍSICO EN LA RECUPERACIÓN DEL INFARTO DE MIOCARDIO POR OBESIDAD

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Myocardial infarction caused by human obesity can cause a decline in mobility and a decline in the quality of a healthy life. Sports training is beneficial to maintain early physical functions after myocardial infarction.

Objective:

This article deals with the effect of applying walking aerobic exercise in the rehabilitation treatment of patients with myocardial infarction.

Methods:

We enrolled 91 patients with myocardial infarction in the early exercise group and 90 patients in the control group. The control group received the routine nursing intervention, and the early exercise group received early physical exercise rehabilitation therapy.

Results:

The actual quality of life of the early exercise group was higher than that of the control group. The incidence of cardiovascular adverse events was lower than that of the control group.

Conclusion:

Physical exercise therapy used in acute myocardial infarction can reduce adverse cardiovascular events and improve the quality of life of patients. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.
