Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program on improving exercise capacity in myocardial infarction (MI) patients during the recovery phase. Methods: A prospective interventional study was conducted on 11 MI patients at the Cardiac Rehabilitation Center, Bach Mai Hospital. Participants underwent a 2-week CR program and had their exercise capacity assessed by a stress electrocardiography test (ECG stress test) before and after the intervention. Results: The CR program significantly improved exercise capacity: maximum MET increased from 5.77 to 6.75 (p=0.003), maximal power increased from 86.95 to 110.45 W (p=0.003), and exercise duration increased from 6.22 to 7.2 minutes (p=0.011). Additionally, both blood pressure and maximum heart rate significantly decreased (p<0.05). The majority of patients were overweight/obese (81.8%) and without heart failure (81.8%). Conclusion: The CR program effectively enhances exercise capacity and cardiovascular function in MI patients during recovery, contributing to improved treatment outcomes.
