Core Tip
Core Tip: This study explored an exercise rehabilitation program based on the concept of medical care-family integration for older patients with chronic heart failure and psychological problems. Compared to conventional rehabilitation, this approach significantly improved cardiac function, reduced anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders, enhanced quality of life, and decreased readmission rates. By integrating medical support with active family involvement, this model offers an innovative and effective rehabilitation strategy for clinical practice.
