Objective To analyze the effect of Taijiquan combined with cardio rehabilitation training on chronic heart failure. Methods A total of 103 patients admitted to our hospital for chronic heart failure were collected. The random number table method was used to divide 103 patients into 2 groups. 51 patients in the conventional group were trained in cardiac rehabilitation exercises. 52 patients in the experimental group were added to the conventional group. Tai Chi training. Patients were evaluated for left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVDEd), left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVSEd), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), Hamilton depression scale (HAMD), self depression rating scale (SDS), Pittsburgh after treatment Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Minnesota Quality of Life Questionnaire (MLHF). Results After treatment, the levels of LVDEd and LVSEd in the experimental group were lower than those in the conventional group, and LVEF was higher than that in the conventional group (P <0.05). The HAMD, SDS, PSQI, and MLHF scores of the patients in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the conventional group (P <0.05). Conclusion Taijiquan combined with cardiac rehabilitation training can improve cardiac function, improve depression, restore sleep and quality of life in patients with chronic heart failure.
