Objective:
To systematically evaluate the effects of lead therapies on percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods:
A randomized controlled trial (RCT) in the CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, ProQuest, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science databases was searched until January 2023. Two researchers strictly screened and checked the included literature, extracted relevant data, and used the Cochrane Manual to assess the risk quality of the literature. Using RevMan 5.3 software, Meta-analysis of 4 main outcome measures [cardiac function-related indicators, 6-minute walking distance (6 MWT), quality of life (SF-36), Seattle angina pectoris scale (SAQ)], and 3 secondary outcome measures [adverse event incidence, death incidence, and readmission rate].
Results:
22 studies were finally included with 1754 subjects, but the overall quality of the included studies was not high. The results of the meta-analysis showed that, in the cardiac function-related indicators compared to controls, improved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) index (MD = 1.42, 95%CI [-0.94, 3.79], P < .00001); however, compared with the Baduanjin group, Tai Chi ball + Baduanjin group and control group, there was no significant difference (P > .05); compared with the control group, the guidance therapy group improved the left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) index (MD = -4.67, 95%CI [-6.8, -2.71], P < .00001). In comparison, the lead group improved the 6 MWT (MD = 69.44, 95%CI [30.12, 108.76], P < .00001); the SF-36 score (MD = 10.05, 95%CI [8.68, 11.42], P < .00001])and the SAQ score (MD = 6.2, 95%CI [3.97, 8.44], P < .00001). Among the secondary outcome measures, the incidence of adverse events was statistically significant (RR = 0.17, 95%CI [0.1, 0.32], P < .00001); statistically significant (RR = 0.29, 95%CI (0.1, 0.87), P < .00001); readmission (RR = 0.39, 95%CI [0.17, 0.87, 0.89], P < .00001).
Conclusion:
Based on the current study, combining conventional therapy/ exercise or using simple lead therapy after PCI can improve the treatment effect and improve the quality of life.
