title: [Myocardial infarct in motor transport drivers and the results of long-term observations].
abstract: As many as 283 drivers with a history of acute myocardial infarction were examined. In the long-term postinfarction period, the number of the able-bodied accounted for 22.8%, the number of persons with restricted work fitness was 43.3%, that of the disabled amounted to 33.9%. It should be noted that about 60% of the able-bodied and those with restricted work fitness returned to the driving-related work. However, in some cases, the type of the trucking was either changed of the work scope was to be minimized. Criteria forming the basis for predicting the recovery of work fitness of the drivers were as follows: non-transmural character of myocardial infarction for the most part, the effective staged rehabilitation program, positive dynamics and smoothing of the ECG signs of myocardial infarction, the lack of areas of regional hypo- and akinesia of the myocardium, normalization of the ejection fraction, high and mean indicators of physical work fitness, exercise tolerance, coronary reserves, functional class I and II angina pectoris of effort, either the lack or initial clinical signs of circulatory failure, psychological readaptation, high occupational class, and labour orientation.
