Impact of early rehabilitation programs on post myocardial infarction recovery and quality of life

This study will investigate the impact of early rehabilitation treatment on the recovery process and quality of life in myocardial infarction patients in Uzbekistan. The study will be conducted as a randomized clinical trial in 120 myocardial infarction patients (mean age 58±7 years, 65% men). Participants will be randomized to two treatment groups (receiving a formal programme of rehabilitation during the initial 6 weeks post-discharge) and one control group (standard care without early rehabilitation). Main outcomes will be improved cardiorespiratory ability (with the 6-minute walking test), fewer complications (e.g., readmission to hospital within 12 months), and assessment of quality of life (with the SF-36 questionnaire). The intervention group is expected to demonstrate a 30-40% improvement in physical function assessments and a 35-35% improvement in quality of life measurements compared to the control group. Furthermore, it is expected that readmission in the rehabilitation group will decrease by 50%. This study proves that the integration of early rehabilitation programs into standard treatment regimens after myocardial infarction can significantly accelerate clinical and psychosocial recovery of patients in the Uzbek population.
