Abstract

Abstract:

In recent years，there has been an increase in the prevalence and incidence of acute myocardial infarction. Despite advances in diagnostic and therapeutic technologies related to the disease，challenges remain in the management of the disease after patients are discharged from the hospital. Home-based cardiac rehabilitation has been demonstrated to be an effective means of improving the prognosis of the disease. The utilization of digital health technology has the potential to enhance patient compliance and quality of life in the context of home-based cardiac rehabilitation for those who have experienced an acute myocardial infarction. This article reviews the forms of intervention，specific applications and effects of digital health technologies in home-based cardiac rehabilitation， It analyses the existing problems and puts forward nursing countermeasures. The aim is to further help nursing staff to guide the practice of home cardiac rehabilitation for patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Key words: Digital Health, Acute Myocardial Infarction, Home-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation, Cardiovascular Disease, Review, Rehabilitation Nursing

摘要：

近年来，急性心肌梗死患病率和发病率呈逐年上升趋势。尽管疾病相关的诊疗技术已较为成熟，但患者出院后疾病管理仍存在较大问题。通过居家心脏康复能够有效改善疾病预后，利用数字健康技术可提高急性心肌梗死患者居家心脏康复的依从性及生活质量。该研究综述了数字健康技术在居家心脏康复中的干预形式，具体应用及效果，并对现存问题进行分析，提出应用策略，旨在为护士指导急性心肌梗死患者居家心脏康复实践提供参考。
