Exercise rehabilitation
The experimental group's protocol consists of two stages: in-hospital Phase I and post-discharge self-training. For Phase I, cardiac and rehab specialists assess NYHA classification, muscle strength, and mobility to create an exercise plan, supervised by therapists and nurses. Phase II involves twice-weekly outpatient rehab for 24 sessions and weekly remote guidance with WeChat and wristbands to track vitals, totaling 12 remote sessions. Exercise prescriptions are customized based on 6MWTD outcomes, with ongoing support from rehab staff and nurses.
Conventional rehabilitation
"Health Education: Nurses provide manuals on heart failure causes, treatment, diet, exercise (detailing frequency, intensity, duration, types, and safety), and self-monitoring to control group patients.~Outpatient Follow-up: Post-discharge, heart failure patients have follow-ups at 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months. A multidisciplinary team of doctors, pharmacists, and nurses handles these, with doctors for assessment, pharmacists for medication education, and nurses for self-care assessment and education."
