Abstract
Introduction: The present study was conducted with the aim of the effect of a cardiac rehabilitation course on changes in copeptin levels and quality of life in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Methods: In this semi-experimental study, with a pre-test-post-test design, 30 men with acute coronary syndrome disease were selected as available and were placed in two experimental and control groups. The experimental group performed a cardiac rehabilitation program for 6 weeks, while the control group did not perform any regular physical activity during this period. Before and after the Copeptin rehabilitation program, the quality of life of the participants was measured. The data was analyzed by covariance method.
Results: The results showed that cardiac rehabilitation training has a significant effect on increasing copeptin and increasing quality of life (P≤0.05).
Conclusion: In general, it can be stated that the cardiac rehabilitation exercise program can play an important role in improving the physical and mental conditions of patients with acute myocardial infarction.
