Abstract

Objective: To investigate the effect of acupoint meridian therapeutic exercise on cardiopulmonary function in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). 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. 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. Conclusion: Acupoint meridian therapeutic exercise improves exercise tolerance, cardiopulmonary function, and quality of life in patients with CHF.

穴位经络治疗运动对慢性心力衰竭患者心功能的影响

目的：探讨穴位经络治疗运动对慢性心力衰竭（CHF）患者心肺功能的影响。方法：纳入2019年6月至2019年10月在心内科诊断为CHF的100名患者。100名患者根据他们接受的治疗被随机分为实验组（n=50）和对照组（n=50%）。实验组采用常规治疗结合穴位经络治疗运动，疗程3个月。比较两组患者的6分钟步行试验结果、心功能分级、血浆脑钠肽（BNP）浓度、左心室射血分数（LVEF）和生活质量。结果：与对照组相比，实验组6分钟步行距离有统计学意义的增加。心功能和血浆BNP浓度下降，LVEF和生活质量提高。结论：穴位经络治疗性运动可改善CHF患者的运动耐量、心肺功能和生活质量。

期刊介绍： The aim of the journal is to provide an international forum for the exchange of ideas and promotion of basic and clinical research in acupuncture, electro-therapeutics, and related fields. The journal was established in order to make acupuncture and electro-therapeutics a universally acceptable branch of medicine through multidisciplinary research based on scientific disciplines. The final goal is to provide a better understanding of both the beneficial and adverse effects of these treatments in order to supplement or improve existing methods of diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases in both Western and Oriental medicine.
