What this trial studies
This study investigates the effectiveness of an improved Baduanjin exercise program combined with a cross-theoretical model delivered via the Internet, aimed at empowering families in the cardiac rehabilitation of elderly patients with coronary heart disease following PCI. A total of 120 patients aged 60 to 75 will be enrolled, and their rehabilitation outcomes will be assessed based on cardiac function, quality of life, medication adherence, and overall satisfaction. The goal is to develop a scientifically sound management plan for cardiac rehabilitation tailored to the needs of elderly patients.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are elderly patients aged 60 to 75 who have undergone their first PCI and have stable postoperative conditions.
Not a fit: Patients with uncontrolled arrhythmias, severe comorbidities, or disabilities affecting their ability to participate safely in the study may not benefit.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance the rehabilitation process and improve the quality of life for elderly patients recovering from coronary heart disease.
How similar studies have performed: While similar approaches have been explored, this specific combination of Internet-based family empowerment and traditional Chinese medicine exercises is relatively novel.
