The Effect of TaiChi on Ischemic Burden of Patients With Coronary Heart Disease Complicated With Renal Insufficiency

January 4, 2022 updated by: Ji Huang, Beijing Anzhen Hospital
This study focuses on patients with incomplete revascularization combined with renal insufficiency. And since heart and kidney are two organs influence each other, the study take the mechanism of heart and kidney comorbidity and the risk factors of the two organs.As one of the traditional Chinese sports, Tai Chi is an aerobic exercise combineing movements with static postures, which can significantly improve the aerobic endurance of patients with coronary heart disease. In this study, a parallel, randomized controlled study method is used to quantitatively evaluate the myocardial ischemia condition by myocardial perfusion imaging indicators. This study aims to figure out whether the cardiac rehabilitation training program based on Tai Chi has a positive effect on the patients' myocardial ischemic.
