Lying‑Sitting‑Standing Baduanjin to improve heart and lung function in acute coronary syndrome with heart failure

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Participants with acute coronary syndrome complicated by heart failure will receive standard medical treatment and routine rehabilitation nursing guidance, with some patients also doing a sequential lying‑sitting‑standing Baduanjin exercise program. The intervention group will perform the Baduanjin sequence alongside usual care while the comparison group receives usual care alone. Cardiopulmonary function and quality of life will be measured using echocardiography, NT‑proBNP, 6‑minute walk test, NYHA class, and the SF‑36 questionnaire. Results will be compared to see if this low‑intensity exercise sequence can be a viable early cardiac rehabilitation option.
