Abstract

Background: Respiratory rehabilitation is a crucial component of cardiac recovery. This study primarily investigates the effectiveness of a novel respiratory rehabilitation technique known as Metronomic Breathing (MB) on cardiac recovery in post-PCI acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients and compliance with home-based rehabilitation compared to traditional respiratory rehabilitation methods. Methods: From June 2022 to March 2023, 55 AMI patients admitted to the Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital Cardiovascular Department were consecutively enrolled. They were randomly divided into the MB and control groups, which underwent conventional abdominal breathing training. Afterwards, hemodynamic indicators and compliance with home-based rehabilitation were compared between the two groups. Results: After the intervention in the MB group, several cardiac functional parameters (SV, SVI, CO, CI, LCW, LCWI), myocardial contractility parameter (VI), and systemic vascular resistance parameters (SVR, SVRI) were significantly higher compared to the pre-intervention levels, with a significant difference (P < 0.05). Furthermore, post-treatment, the MB group exhibited higher values for SV, SVI, CO, CI, and VI, lower SVR, SVRI, and SBP and a lower readmission rate three months later than the control group. Moreover, the MB group displayed higher compliance with home-based cardiac rehabilitation (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Compared to conventional respiratory rehabilitation training methods, Metronomic respiratory therapy is more effective in the short term for reducing systemic vascular resistance, enhancing left ventricular ejection function, and increasing home-based rehabilitation compliance in patients following AMI with PCI.
