Objective To investigate the effects of treadmill testing guided-rehabilitation exercises upon quality of life (QOL) of patients who underwent revascularization for coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods All the participants received routine therapy and rehabilitation for 6 weeks.A 36-item short-form (SF-36) was used to assess QOL of the patients. Results Injured functioning of patients who received revascularization for CHD were physiological function (37.86), social function (43.67), vitality (45.58), physical performance (65.45), mental health (68.73), role emotion (71.30), physical pain (79.52), and general health (86.75). After intervention, physiology function (37.86±8.49 vs 62.13±10.53), social function (43.67±26.23 vs 56.98±18.89), vitality (45.58±27.01 vs 77.42±23.48), and physical pain (79.52±9.05 vs 87.32±13.14) were significantly improved.
