ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of long-distance fast walking exercise on the postoperative interventional therapy in elderly patients with coronary heart disease(CHD) complicated with hypertension.

MethodsA total of 104 elderly CHD complicated with hypertension patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention was divided into the observation group and control group according to the random number table(52 cases in each group).The control group were treated with routine intervention, and the observation group was additionally treated with long-distance fast walking exercise on the basis of control group.The blood pressure, cardiopulmonary function and quality of life in two groups were compared between before and after intervention.

ResultsAfter 6 months of intervention, the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure in two groups were lower than those before intervention(P < 0.01), and which in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group(P < 0.01).The heart rate(HR), CO₂ emission(VCO₂), peak oxygen uptake(VO₂ peak) and metabolic equivalent in observation group after intervention were significantly higher than those before intervention(P < 0.01), the levels of VCO₂ and VO₂ peak in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group(P < 0.01), and the HR in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group(P < 0.01).The angina stability, limited physical activity, frequency of angina attack, disease cognition and treatment satisfaction in two groups after intervention were significantly higher than those before intervention(P < 0.01), and the all items scores in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group (P < 0.01).

ConclusionsLong-distance fast walking exercise can effectively improve the blood pressure level, cardiopulmonary function and quality of life in elderly patients with CHDcomplicated with hypertension.It is worthy of promotion.
