A Clinical Study on the Effect of Cardiopulmonary Function and Quality of Life in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome Complicated by Heart Failure by "Lying-Sitting-Standing" Sequential Baduanjin

April 29, 2026 updated by: Xiling Qi
This study investigates the effects of a sequential "lying-sitting-standing" Baduanjin intervention on patients with acute coronary syndrome complicated by heart failure. By evaluating cardiopulmonary function and quality of life through indicators such as echocardiography, NT-proBNP, 6MWT, NYHA classification, and SF-36, we aim to compare its efficacy with conventional treatment. The objective is to provide new insights for early cardiac rehabilitation strategies in patients with acute coronary syndrome complicated by heart failure

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Patients were stratified based on their 6-minute walk test distance
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of the 12-week treatment
The 6-minute walk test is an objective indicator for evaluating exercise tolerance in patients with heart failure, representing the total distance a patient can walk in 6 minutes. The results are categorized into four grades based on the distance covered: <300 m, 300-374.9 m, 375-449.9 m, and ≥450 m.
From enrollment to the end of the 12-week treatment
NYHA（New York Heart Association）classification of cardiac function
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of the 12-week treatment
The New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Classification, proposed in 1928 and still in use today, categorizes patients into classes Ⅰ through Ⅳ, with class Ⅰ representing the best condition and class Ⅳ the worst.
From enrollment to the end of the 12-week treatment
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) on echocardiography
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of the 12-week treatment
Ejection fraction is a ratio reflecting the efficiency of cardiac pumping, defined as the percentage of blood volume pumped out by the left ventricle during each contraction (stroke volume, SV) relative to its end-diastolic volume (EDV). It is measured using the Simpson's method on echocardiography.
From enrollment to the end of the 12-week treatment
C-reactive protein levels
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of the 12-week treatment
Unit:mg/L
From enrollment to the end of the 12-week treatment
ＳＦ-３６（ShortForm36HealthSurvey）
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of the 12-week treatment
The SF-36 is a generic scale developed by the Boston Health Research Institute in the United States in 1988, based on the Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form (MOS SF) originally devised by Stewart et al. It is used to assess health-related quality of life in populations. The scale contains 36 items and comprehensively evaluates health-related quality of life across eight dimensions: Physical Functioning (PF), Role-Physical (RP), Bodily Pain (BP), General Health (GH), Vitality (VT), Social Functioning (SF), Role-Emotional (RE), and Mental Health (MH). Scores for each dimension are converted using specific formulas to a scale of 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better health status.
From enrollment to the end of the 12-week treatment
NT-proBNP（N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide）levels
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of the 12-week treatment
Unit:pg/ml
From enrollment to the end of the 12-week treatment
FMD（flow-mediated vasodilation）
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of the 12-week treatment
Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) is a non-invasive method for assessing vascular endothelial function, based on the mechanism by which endothelial cells respond to changes in shear stress. It uses high-frequency ultrasound (7-12 MHz) to measure the inner diameter of the brachial artery at rest, record the peak blood flow velocity and changes in vessel diameter following reactive hyperemia, and calculate the maximum vasodilatory response. The calculation formula is: FMD = [(post-reactive diameter - baseline diameter) / baseline diameter] × 100%.
From enrollment to the end of the 12-week treatment
ADL（Activities of Daily Living Scale）
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of the 12-week treatment
The ADL , which stands for the Activities of Daily Living Scale, was developed by Lawton and Brody in 1969. It is primarily used to assess an individual's ability to perform daily activities. The basic activities of daily living evaluated by this scale include ten items: feeding, bathing, grooming, dressing, bowel control, bladder control, toileting, bed-to-chair transfer, walking on level ground, and stair climbing. The total score is 100 points. Based on the score, functional status is classified into four levels: ≤40 indicates severe dependence; 41-60 indicates moderate dependence; 61-99 indicates mild dependence; and 100 indicates independence.
