Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs are recognized as integral part of the comprehensive care of patients with cardiovascular disease and are recommended as useful and effective (Class I) by the American Heart Association (AHA). In this study we used serial administration of the short form 36 (SF36) to evaluate patient's response to CR in terms of improvement in Health related Quality of Life. A total of 49 patients were included in the analysis. There was a significant improvement observed after CR in the Physical Capacity Score (42.3 vs 49.9 p = 0.0005). There was no significant improvement in the Mental Capacity Score (54.8 vs 54.9 p = 0.96). We conclude that Cardiac Rehabilitation Program causes a significant improvement in the health related quality of life of patients by improving their physical health and well being but does not improve the mental capacity which is already at a healthy level before CR.
心脏康复（CR）项目被视为心血管疾病患者综合护理的重要组成部分，美国心脏协会（AHA）推荐其为有用且有效的（I类）项目。在本研究中，我们使用简短健康调查问卷（SF36）的系列量表来评估患者在心脏康复过程中与健康相关生活质量的改善情况。共有49名患者纳入分析。心脏康复后，体能评分有显著改善（42.3对49.9，p = 0.0005）。智能评分无显著改善（54.8对54.9，p = 0.96）。我们得出结论，心脏康复项目通过改善患者的身体健康和幸福感，使其与健康相关的生活质量得到显著提高，但并未改善在心脏康复前已处于健康水平的智能。
