Methods 106 elderly patients with myocardial infarction were recouited. Of them,53 patients shared early rehabilitation nursing, and the other 53 received conventional care. The average length of stay in hospital, incidence rate of adverse clinical events and anxiety level were compared between the two groups. Results The incidence rate of angina in rehabilitation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The anxiety level of rehabilitation group significantly reduced after treatment than before. In rehabilitation group,less adverse symptoms occurred; the anxiety improvement and length of hospital stay were significantly better than those in the control group. Conclusions Early rehabilitation nursing care for elderly patients with AMI is effective and significantly reduces the incidence of angina and reduce adverse events, reduces the degree of anxiety and shortens hospital stay.
