Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of the color pulse reflexology (CPR) methods and autogenous training (AT) in rehabilitation programs for patients after myocardial infarction (MI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Material and methods. The study included 157 male patients with coronary artery disease aged 53.7 + 4.3 years who had undergone myocardial infarction and CABG surgery for 1 to 2 months. The patients were prescribed a standard program of sanatorium-resort treatment using natural factors and necessary medicines. The first – the control group of patients (CG, 63 people) was added to the AT treatment program, and the second – the main group (MG, 52 people) – the CPR method – 10 sessions of each method. The apparatus «Amulet 201» was used to correct the psycho-emotional state of patients with signals of the green and yellow ranges of the optical spectrum through a visual analyzer. Results. In the first group of patients, people with anxiety-depressive and asthenic syndromes experienced “restructuring” of the personal values scale: significantly reduced irritability, mental and physical fatigue, which contributed to the elimination of astenization, the restoration of nervous and physical potential, the behavioral functions and sleep normalization after a course of the treatment. In the second group of patients with cardiophobic and anxiety-sensing syndromes, there was improvement in well-being, sleep, decreased fatigue and phobic experiences, internal tension and anxiety, intensity and frequency of pain in the heart after the treatment. The majority of patients who took CPR and were re-admitted to sanatorium-resort treatment within 12 months after MI showed a significant improvement in their general condition and quality of life. Conclusion. When identifying asthenic, anxiety-depressive and agrypnia syndromes with an average daily non-dipper curve in cardiac surgery patients, the use of AT and CPR against the background of complex sanatorium-resort treatment in most cases gave a good and stable therapeutic effect, helped to correct the psychological and hemodynamic profiles, restore efficiency and improve the quality of life.
In the organization of systematic work on the examination and management of the quality of medical care taking into account the existing recommendations in each medical-preventive institution should constantly work clinical-expert commissions, including: the medical-control subcommittee, the subcommittee to study the death outcomes, the subcommittee of the examination of disability, the subcommittee of the study of surgical complications. The results of the expert study revealed that the indicators of the commission in the provision of medical and diagnostic care for patients with coronary heart disease in the Moscow region hospital are at an average level, compared to the rates of the commission for other types of medical care. Conducting a complex of medical rehabilitation on the basis of a spa organization for patients with chronic heart failure and acute myocardial infarction after coronary artery bypass grafting allows to significantly improve the level of medical and diagnostic care and improve the quality of life of patients.
