Abstract: BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), a therapeutic approach to coronary heart disease, significantly alleviates symptoms of coronary heart disease (CHD) and substantially improves quality of life. This study aimed to investigate the effect of home cardiac rehabilitation (HCR) on patients after PCI. MATERIAL AND METHODS We randomly divided 106 patients after PCI into an Intervention group (n=52) and a Control group (n=53). Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), blood pressure, blood glucose, and low-density lipoprotein were measured in both groups before hospital discharge and after 3 months of engaging in the intervention. Patients were assessed using the short-form health survey (SF-12) scale and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scale. RESULTS After 3 months of HCR intervention, SF-12 scores of patients in the Intervention group were significantly higher compared to patients in the Control group (physical component summary (PCS): 47.46±9.86 vs 43.28±8.21; and Mental Component Summary (MCS): 50.68±9.82 vs 48.26±9.69) (P.
