Role of Cardiac Rehabilitation Physiotherapy in Improving Quality of Life Post Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

Patients who are recuperating from myocardial infarction (MI) can significantly improve their quality of life (QoL) with the utilisation of cardiac rehabilitation physiotherapy. The purpose of this structured program is to restore physical function, maintain heart health, and avoid recurrences by combining exercise training, patient education, and psychosocial support. Patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction frequently undergo physical deconditioning, emotional discomfort, and problems in their lifestyle, all of which can impair the rehabilitation process. a multimodal approach to cardiac rehabilitation that places an emphasis on the role that individualised physiotherapy therapies play in enhancing physical endurance, lowering the risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and addressing mental health difficulties such as anxiety and depression. Physiotherapy has been shown to be helpful in improving cardiac efficiency, lowering the number of times patients need to be readmitted to the hospital, and improving patients' general well-being, according to research that are supported by evidence. A number of important results, such as improved exercise tolerance, superior disease management, and enhanced emotional resilience, highlight the need of including physiotherapy into the usual protocols for cardiac rehabilitation. Physiotherapy for cardiac rehabilitation offers a holistic approach to improving health and quality of life for individuals who have had a myocardial infarction (MI) by treating both the physical and psychosocial elements of the condition.
