Abstract
Objective To study the effects of rehabilitation （RT） on cardiac function in cerebral infarct （CIF） patients with cardiac insufficiency （ CIS）. Methods Fifty-nine CIF patients with CIS were randomly divided into a treatment group （ T group, n = 29 ） and a control group （ n = 30） , and all patients were treated with routine pharmacotherapy for 2 months. In addition, RT was administrated in the T group at the same time. The grading of the New York Heart Association （NYHA） and the changes in cardiac function associated index were observed in both groups before and after treatment. Results Compared with the control group, NYHA grades, left ventricle ejection fraction（LVEF） , the levels of brain natriuretic peptide（BNP） in the blood plasma, and the 6min walking range of the T group patients were all significantly improved after treatment （ P 〈 0.05 ）. Conclusion RT can improve cardiac function in CIF patients with CIS. Key words: Cerebral infarction; Cardiac insufficiency; Rehabilitation training
