心脏康复治疗可以提高病后的生活质量

Cardiac rehabilitation programs improve heart attack survivors' quality of life, especially if they get lots of exercise, a new British study finds.

英国一项新的研究发现，心脏康复计划可以提高心脏病患者的生活质量，特别是如果他们进行了大量的锻炼。

A heart attack can reduce quality of life due to struggles with mobility and self-care, as well as daily leisure and work activities.

心脏病发作可能会降低生活质量，因为患者在活动能力、自理能力以及日常休闲和工作活动方面存在困难。

Many heart attack survivors take part in cardiac rehab, which emphasizes exercise, quitting smoking, healthy eating, stress management, and taking prescribed medications.

许多心脏病患者参加了心脏康复治疗，治疗手段强调锻炼、戒烟、健康饮食、压力管理和服用处方药。

"Exercise improves fitness, which has both physical and mental health benefits," said study author Dr. Ben Hurdus of the University of Leeds. "If you're more able to participate in activities that bring you happiness, then you're more likely to have a better quality of life."

利兹大学(University of Leeds)的研究作者本·赫杜斯(Ben Hurdus)博士说：“锻炼能提高体质，对身心健康都有好处。如果你能更多地参与给你带来快乐的活动，那么你更有可能拥有更好的生活质量。”

This study examined how more than 4,500 heart attack survivors in England felt about their quality of life one, six and 12 months after leaving the hospital.

这项研究调查了英国4500多名心脏病患者在出院一个月、六个月和十二个月后的生活质量。

Survivors who went to rehab and exercised 150 minutes or more a week had higher quality-of-life scores than those who did neither.

接受康复治疗、并每周锻炼150分钟或以上的幸存者的生活质量，得分高于未接受康复治疗的幸存者。

The study was presented online April 23 to the European Society of Cardiology. Findings in presentations are considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

这项研究于4月23日在线提交给欧洲心脏病学会。在发表在同行评议的期刊上之前，报告中的发现认定为初步阶段。

Hurdus pointed out that cardiac rehab involves not only exercise but also advice on lifestyle and medications, all of which probably help make people feel better. "There are also the added social benefits such as being around other people in a similar situation and having that shared sense of community," he said in an ESC news release.

赫杜斯指出，心脏康复不仅包括锻炼，还包括生活方式和药物方面的建议，所有这些都可能有助于人们感觉更好。他在ESC的一次新闻发布会上说:“这样做还有额外的社会好处，比如可以和处境相似的人在一起，拥有共同的社区意识。”

Dr. Chris Gale is a professor of cardiovascular medicine at the University of Leeds and the study's senior author. "All heart attack patients should be referred for cardiac rehabilitation unless their health care professional advises against it," Gale said. "If it isn't discussed, speak to your local health care professional to see if it is suitable for you."

克里斯·盖尔博士是利兹大学心血管医学教授，也是这项研究的资深作者，他提醒：“所有心脏病发作的病人都应该接受心脏康复治疗，除非他们的医疗专业人员建议不要这样做。如果没有，请与当地的医疗保健专业人员联系，看看是否适合您。”
