%X <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>The respiratory rehabilitation technique is a crucial component of early cardiac recovery in geriatric patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study primarily investigated the effectiveness of a novel respiratory rehabilitation technique, metronomic breathing (MB), on geriatric patients after percutaneous coronary intervention for AMI and compliance with home-based rehabilitation compared to traditional respiratory rehabilitation.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>From June 2022 to March 2023, 75 acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients admitted to the Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital Cardiovascular Department were consecutively enrolled. Ultimately, 46 patients completed the follow-up in this study-26 in the MB group and 20 in the control group-who underwent the novel MB technique and conventional abdominal breathing training. The primary endpoint of the study was left ventricular function measured by noninvasive hemodynamics three months after discharge. The secondary endpoints were compliance and quality of life after three months of home rehabilitation.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>After the intervention, several cardiac functional parameters (SV, SVI, CO, CI, LCW, and LCWI), myocardial contractility parameters (VI), and systemic vascular resistance parameters (SVR and SVRI) were significantly greater in the MB group than in the preintervention group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, post-treatment, the MB group exhibited greater SV, SVI, CO, CI, and VI; lower SVR, SVRI, and SBP; and a lower readmission rate three months later than did the control group. The SF-36 scores after three months of MB intervention, PE, BP, GH, VT, SF, RE, and MH, were all significantly greater than those before treatment (P < 0.05). Moreover, the MB group displayed greater compliance with home-based cardiac rehabilitation (P < 0.05).<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Compared to conventional respiratory rehabilitation training methods, short-term metronomic respiratory therapy is more effective for reducing systemic vascular resistance, enhancing left ventricular ejection function, enhancing quality of life, and increasing home-based rehabilitation compliance in geriatric patients following AMI with PCI.
