What this trial studies

This study focuses on the effects of a personalized exercise rehabilitation program for elderly patients diagnosed with coronary heart disease. It aims to improve patients' physical and mental health through tailored exercise prescriptions based on individual evaluations. The program includes comprehensive interventions such as optimal medical therapy alongside exercise training to enhance overall quality of life and prognosis. The study is grounded in evidence-based practices recommended by major cardiovascular health organizations.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are elderly individuals aged 60-75 with stable coronary heart disease confirmed by angiography and a left ventricular ejection fraction greater than 40%.

Not a fit: Patients with severe comorbidities, uncontrolled hypertension, or significant physical limitations may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly enhance the quality of life and health outcomes for elderly patients with coronary heart disease.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown positive outcomes with similar individualized exercise rehabilitation approaches in cardiac patients, supporting the potential effectiveness of this intervention.
