Prospective study: 44 cases of post acute uncomplicated myocardial infarction were divided into 2 groups: control and exercise groups. The control group consisted of 22 patients, 35-74 years (mean 63.25) and exercise group consisted of 22 patients, 33-71 years (mean 54). The exercise test was performed at 5 METS predischarge then an exercise program conducted by a physiatrist (physician specialized in physical medicine and rehabilitation) but was not given in control group. The exercise test was repeated 12-weeks post discharge with results showing a remarkable difference between the 2 groups statistically. Also, after a 5 year follow-up, the exercise group were living, normally, 77 per cent versus only 30 per cent in the control group. Death in the exercise group and the control group was 5 per cent and 45 per cent respectively.
44例急性非复杂性心肌梗死后患者被分为两组:对照组和运动组。对照组有22例患者,年龄在35 - 74岁(平均63.25岁),运动组有22例患者,年龄在33 - 71岁(平均54岁)。出院前进行5代谢当量的运动测试,然后由物理治疗师(专门从事物理医学与康复的医生)指导进行运动计划,但对照组未进行。出院12周后重复运动测试,结果显示两组之间在统计学上有显著差异。此外,经过5年随访,运动组正常生活的比例为77%,而对照组仅为30%。运动组和对照组的死亡率分别为5%和45%。
