Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)characteristic nursing combined with Liuzijue Qigong on rehabilitation of cardiac function in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods A total of 80 CHF patients were randomly divided into the study group and control group, with 40 cases in each group. All patients received routine drug therapy during hospitalization. Patients in the control group were give routine care including work-rest schedule, dietary guidance, psychological care and daily care. Patients in the study group were given TCM characteristic nursing combined with Liuzijue Qigong in addition to routine care. The Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) was used to measure the patient quality of life, and outcomes of left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEF) and 6-minute walking test were measured and compared between two groups. Results Longer 6MWD and higher LEVF were reported in both groups at three months of intervention, and patients in the study group achieved better outcomes of 6MWD and higher LEVF compared with those in the control group(P<0.01). The score of MLHFQ decreased in both groups at three months of intervention, and score of MLHFQ in the study group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion The TCM characteristic nursing combined with Liuzijue Qigong is potentially effective to improve the rehabilitation of cardiac function and long-term quality of life in CHF patients.
