  "abstract": "Introduction: This study aims to investigate the short-term effect of early cardiac exercise rehabilitation on the recovery of cardiac function in patients who have undergone open heart surgery.\n\nMethods: A total of 120 patients who performed open heart surgery from January 2019 to December 2021 were divided into an experimental group ( n = 60) and a control group ( n = 60). The control group received standard nursing by nurses while the experimental group participated in early cardiac exercise rehabilitation training. The postoperative cardiac function (at discharge and 3 months after operation), gastrointestinal peristalsis recovery, infection rate, readmission rate, and patient satisfaction of both groups were assessed.\n\nResults: The experimental group demonstrated lower infection rate, reduced readmission rate, higher patient satisfaction, and better postoperative cardiac function at 3 months after operation than the control group ( P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the postoperative cardiac function at discharge and the recovery time of gastrointestinal peristalsis between two groups ( p > 0.05).\n\nDiscussion: In conclusions, early cardiac exercise rehabilitation training during the perioperative period can help to improve the recovery of cardiac function in a short term for patients who have undergone open heart surgery. At the same time, early cardiac exercise rehabilitation also helped to reduce postoperative infections and readmission, and improve patient satisfaction..",
