[Abstract] Objective To explore the rehabilitation treatment effect of exercise combined with cognitive behavior intervention on chronic heart failure depression. Methods Eighty-four patients with chronic heart failure depression in our hospital from January 2019 to January 2021 were the subjects of this study. They were randomly divided into two groups by the number table method. The control group received routine care, and the observation group was given exercise joint recognition on the basis of routine care. Knowing behavioral intervention. Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) before and after the intervention, and check the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), 6-min walking distance (6MWT), Minnesota Heart Failure Quality of Life Questionnaire (LiHFe) before and after the intervention were evaluated. Results After the intervention, the SAS score and SDS score of the two groups were significantly lower than those before the intervention, and the two scores of the observation group after the intervention were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). After the intervention, the LVEF and 6MWT of the two groups were significantly higher than before the intervention, and the LiHFe score was significantly lower than that before the intervention. After the intervention, the LVEF and 6MWT of the observation group were higher than the control group, and the LiHFe score was lower than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Exercise combined with cognitive behavior intervention can effectively reduce the negative emotions of patients with chronic heart failure depression, improve heart function, enhance the quality of life, and play an effective dual-heart rehabilitation effect.
