Objective To apply the intervention of the cardiac rehabilitation graded nursing special team to elderly patients with coronary heart disease and explore its impact on the patients' cardiac function and exercise endurance. Methods A total of 100 elderly patients with coronary heart disease admitted to our hospital from January 2023 to May 2025 were selected and randomly divided into groups. Fifty patients in the control group received routine care, and 50 patients in the observation group received intervention by the special team for graded cardiac rehabilitation care. The intervention results of the two groups were compared. Results Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in the cardiac function indicators of SV, LVEF, and LVEDD between the two groups (P>0.05). After the intervention, the levels of SV and LVEF in the observation group were higher, while the level of LVEDD was lower (P<0.05). Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in 6MWT and Borg scores between the two groups (P>0.05). After the intervention, the 6MWT was higher and the Borg score was lower in the observation group (P<0.05). The comparison of nursing satisfaction between the two groups showed that 96.0% was higher in the observation group (P<0.05). Conclusion For elderly patients with CHD, the intervention of the cardiac rehabilitation graded nursing special team can not only improve the cardiac function of patients, but also enhance exercise endurance and nursing satisfaction, which has high application value.
