Objective To study the effects of exerci se on heart rate variability (HRV) in elderly patients with old myocardial infarct ion (OMI). Methods Fourty-three patients were recrui ted and divided into an exercise group (24 cases) and a control group (19 cases) . All the patients were given conventional treatment, with those in the exercise group being administered with adequate exercise in addition. Twenty-four hour Holter taper and ultrasonic cardiogram were performed before and at the end of t he 1 month exercise program, respectively, for HRV analysis and cardiac function assessment. Results Before the exercise,HRV and card iac function of senile patients with OMI were significantly lower than those of the controls( P 0.05). Conclusion Exercise can sign ificantly improve the cardiac function of elderly patients with old myocardial i nfarction.
