title: [Social demographic data on myocardial infarction patients (author's transl)].
abstract: During a follow-up of 1000 patients of the Höhenried Longitudinal Study, data were obtained on the subject of employment. We established the most important results to be: More than 86% of all the patients at the Höhenried Clinic return to some employment after infarction and rehabilitation stay. This is a comparatively high proportion. Certain occupations apparently have a structure of stress and strain which leads to infarction more readily than other occupations. The sometimes necessary change of occupation after infarction is not always for the best. Often one activity with a danger of infarction is exchanged for another. A detailed investigation of burdensome work situations is the first requirement for prevention and rehabilitation measures.
