[Curative effects on standardized management of community patients with coronary heart disease complicated with chronic heart failure].

Objective: To explore the effects on the standardized management of patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease complicated with chronic heart failure.

Methods: A total of 823 patients discharged from our department were randomly enrolled. Among 734 patients with follow-up consents, they were divided into management and control groups (n = 440, 294). The management group received standardized out-of-hospital management, regular health education and follow-ups of telephone and outpatient visits.

Results: Compared with the control group, the management group had lower rates of all-cause mortality, cardiac death and readmission due to cardiovascular events (CVE) declining by 26.5%, 32.2% and 57.0% respectively. Over a 4-year period, the annular survival rate of management group was 92%, 85%, 83% and 82% while that of control group 95%, 89%, 82% and 75% respectively. Patient compliance of digoxin and diuretics in the control group was inferior to that in the management group.

Conclusion: Through standardized out-of-hospital management, the patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease plus chronic heart failure may achieve significant benefits through reducing the rates of all-cause mortality, cardiac death and readmission due to CVE and improving survival rate.
