Abstract: This study will investigate the impact of early rehabilitation treatment on the recovery process and quality of life in myocardial infarction patients in Uzbekistan. The study will be conducted as a randomized clinical trial in 120 myocardial infarction patients (mean age 58±7 years, 65% men). Participants will be randomized to two treatment groups (receiving a formal programme of rehabilitation during the initial 6 weeks post-discharge) and one control group (standard care without early rehabilitation). Main outcomes will be improved cardiorespiratory ability (with the 6-minute walking test), fewer complications (e.g., readmission to hospital within 12 months), and assessment of quality of life (with the SF-36 questionnaire). The intervention group is expected to demonstrate a 30-40% improvement in physical function assessments and a 35-35% improvement in quality of life measurements compared to the control group. Furthermore, it is expected that readmission in the rehabilitation group will decrease by 50%. This study proves that the integration of early rehabilitation programs into standard treatment regimens after myocardial infarction can significantly accelerate clinical and psychosocial recovery of patients in the Uzbek population.
