Abstract： Objective To observe the influence of early motor cardiac rehabilitation on the life quality of acute myocardial infarction patients. Methods 30 acute myocardial infarction patients underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention (PCI) were randomly divided into rehabilitative group and control group which consist of 15 patients. The rehabilitative group received the individual sports programme and health education in addition to conventional treatment and nursing. The control group was just treated by traditional way. Barthel index was used to evaluate the self-care ability and life quality. Results The rehabilitative group had significantly higher self-care ability compared with control group after 30 days' treatment[(85.48 ±6.77)points vs (69.35 ±6.46)points] (P＜0.05).The rehabilitative group could care by themselves and carry on the light physical activity. In addition, heart rehabilitatione frequency was the favorable factor for improving the life quality of acute myocardial infarction patients.Conclusion Early motor cardiac rehabilitation could effectively improve the life quality of acute myocardial infarction patients which had a wide clinical application.
