Abstract

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a common chronic cardiovascular condition that significantly impacts public health. With the accelerating trend of population aging in China, the prevalence of CHD continues to rise. Currently, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) serves as the primary method for revascularization in CHD, effectively improving patient prognosis and quality of life. However, cardiac rehabilitation nursing, a crucial component of the PCI system, remains underemphasized and underutilized in clinical practice. This paper systematically reviews research advances in post-PCI cardiac rehabilitation and nursing, aiming to integrate existing evidence and provide scientific, standardized references for clinical practice, thereby promoting the standardized implementation of secondary prevention for CHD.
