Objective To explore the clinical effects of implementing traditional Chinese medicine-assisted nursing after interventional surgery for acute myocardial infarction on the recovery of cardiac function, improvement of TCM syndromes, and prevention and control of complications, and to provide evidence-based basis for the optimization of postoperative nursing plans. Methods A total of 72 patients with acute myocardial infarction after interventional surgery admitted to our hospital from January 2024 to June 2025 were selected and divided into the control group and the experimental group according to the random number table method, with 36 cases in each group. The control group received routine postoperative care, while the experimental group received traditional Chinese medicin-assisted care on the basis of routine care (syndrome differentiation diet, acupoint application, emotional regulation, and Chinese herbal foot bath). After 4 weeks of intervention, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), TCM syndrome score, and the incidence of complications (arrhythmia, heart failure) were compared between the two groups. Results After 4 weeks of intervention, the LVEF level of patients in the experimental group was (55.82±4.31%), significantly higher than that of the control group (49.65±3.78%). Analyzed by t-test, the difference was statistically significant (t=6.892, P < 0.001). The TCM syndrome score of the experimental group was (3.95±1.12 points), which was significantly lower than that of the control group (8.42±1.63 points), and the difference was statistically significant (t=14.753, P < 0.001). In terms of complication prevention and control, the complication rate in the experimental group was 5.56% (2/36), among which only 1 case had occasional ventricular premature beats and 1 case had mild heart failure. In contrast, the complication rate in the control group reached 22.22% (8/36), including 4 cases of arrhythmia and 4 cases of heart failure. According to the χ² test, There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (χ²=4.181, P=0.041). Conclusion The implementation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) assisted nursing after interventional treatment for acute myocardial infarction can effectively promote the recovery of patients' cardiac function, alleviate the manifestations of TCM syndromes, and reduce the risk of postoperative complications through multi-dimensional and personalized intervention measures. This nursing model is both safe and effective, and has high clinical promotion value and application prospects.
