Background
The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of dynamic changes of P‐wave terminal force in lead V
1
(PtfV
1
) at electrocardiogram (ECG) in patients with non–ST‐segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE‐ACS) during the long‐term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) of patients.
Methods
According to the PtfV
1
value, the patients were divided into four groups: PtfV
1
(−)/PtfV
1
(−), PtfV
1
(−)/PtfV
1
(+), PtfV
1
(+)/PtfV
1
(−), and PtfV
1
(+)/PtfV
1
(+).
Results
The highest incidence of MACEs was the PtfV
1
(−)/(+) group with 24 patients (24.7%). The lowest incidence was the PtfV
1
(−)/(−) group with 28 patients (4.9%). Compared with the PtfV
1
(−)/(−) group, the risk for the occurrence of MACEs in the PtfV
1
(−)/(+)group was significantly increased (24.7% vs 4.9%,
P
= .000). Similarly, the risk in the PtfV
1
(+)/(+) group was also increased (10.1% vs 4.9%,
P
= .000).
Conclusion
The persistence of PtfV
1
(+) and conversion of PtfV
1
/(−) to PtfV
1
/(+) at discharge significantly increased the incidence of MACEs.
Objective: To investigate the effect of acupoint meridian therapeutic exercise on cardiopulmonary function in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).<br/> Methods: One hundred patients diagnosed with CHF at the Department of Cardiology from June 2019 to October
2019 were enrolled. One hundred patients were randomly divided into an experimental group (n = 50) and a control group (n = 50) according to the treatment they received. The experimental group received conventional treatment combined with acupoint meridian therapeutic exercise for three months.
The patients in the two groups were compared in terms of their results on the six-minute walk test and their cardiac function grade, plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentration, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and quality of life.<br/> Results: A statistically
significant increase in six-minute walking distance was observed in the experimental group compared with the control group. Cardiac function and plasma BNP concentration decreased and LVEF and quality of life increased.<br/> Conclusion: Acupoint meridian therapeutic exercise improves
exercise tolerance, cardiopulmonary function, and quality of life in patients with CHF.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
