Abstract EN

One of the purposes of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is to monitor and control weight of the patient.

Our study is to compare the different obesity indexes, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC), through one well-designed CR program (CRP) with ACS in Guangzhou city of Guangdong Province, China, in order to identify different effects of BMI and WC on organ damage.

In our work, sixty-one patients between October 2013 and January 2014 fulfilled our study.

We collected the vital signs by medical records, the clinical variables of body-metabolic status by fasting blood test, and the organ damage variables by submaximal exercise treadmill test (ETT) and ultrasonic cardiogram (UCG) both on our inpatient and four-to-five weeks of outpatient part of CRP after ACS.

We mainly used two-tailed Pearson’s test and liner regression to evaluate the relationship of BMI/WC and organ damage.

Our results confirmed that WC could be more accurate than BMI to evaluate the cardiacfunction through the changes of left ventricular structure on the CRP after ACS cases.

It makes sense of early diagnosis, valid evaluation, and proper adjustment to ACS in CRP of the obesity individuals in the future.
