- Brief Summary
Introduction: Myocardial infarction is a major complication of coronary heart disease due to high mortality in particular has been considered and is part of an important medical emergencies. The use of complementary and alternative medicine practices of non-pharmacological methods that are used today. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of acupressure on physiological parameters of patients with myocardial infarction.<br /> Methods: This study is a clinical trial in two groups and was conducted in three stages. The study included 64 patients hospitalized in Isfahan SHahid Chamran was carried out in 1394. Before intervention demographic questionnaire was filled and physiological parameters were measured and recorded in the form of physiological parameters were recorded;Then the experimental group twice per day for three days in five points at any point in time was 2 minutes acupressure.Then after intervention again with half an hour away and physiological measurements were recorded and Using spss 20 And independent t tests and chi-square and Mann-Whitney test, ANOVA with repeated observations were analyzed.Results: The results showed that immediately after the intervention, mean systolic blood pressure (P = 0.009) in the intervention group was significantly lower than the control group And the average arterial oxygen saturation (P
