The effect of integrated medical care on the daily life of patients with coronary heart disease.

This study aims to explore the impact of comprehensive medical care on the daily life of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and to evaluate its effectiveness in improving quality of life, alleviating symptoms, and reducing the risk of cardiac events. A new comprehensive medical care scheme combining Traditional Chinese Medicine nursing differentiation, collaborative nursing interventions, and specialized community care was proposed. Patients with CHD were recruited as study subjects. Data were collected via questionnaires and interviews to assess the real-world impact of comprehensive medical care on the daily lives of patients. Significant improvements were observed in the observation group across multiple metrics. Baseline characteristics between the 2 groups showed no significant differences initially. Post-intervention, the observation group demonstrated significant improvements in left ventricular ejection fraction and self-assessment of stress (SAS), with left ventricular ejection fraction values increasing to 53.8% compared to 47.2% in the control group, and SAS scores decreasing markedly (P < .05). Additionally, the Disease Severity Index (DSI) indicated a significant reduction in disease severity in the observation group compared to a nonsignificant change in the control group (P > .05). Quality of life, assessed via MacNew and activities of daily living scores, also improved significantly post-intervention in the observation group compared to the control group (P < .05). Furthermore, the observation group exhibited a lower incidence of myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, and thrombosis over a 3-year period, with patient satisfaction significantly higher in the observation group (90% reported perfect contentment) compared to the control group (70% reported perfect contentment; P < .001). These findings suggest that the comprehensive nursing care approach significantly enhances cardiac function, quality of life, and patient satisfaction in CHD patients.
