title: [The significance of objective functional classification in the evaluation of physical fitness in patients after myocardial infarction].
abstract: Coronary disease decreases physical fitness of patients. This is due to decreased inotropic and chronotropic cardiac reserves. The study concerned 400 male patients, aged 40-50 years, one year after infarction of the myocardium and appropriate rehabilitation. The aim of the investigation was to define the importance of subjective and objective criteria for the evaluation of physical fitness of patients. On the basis of results of physical testing the patients were divided into two groups: group A (n = 200), patients with ischaemic ECG changes, and group B (n = 200), patients without ischaemic ECG changes. The results of the trail revealed the necessity of measuring the maximal oxygen demand the index of functional aerobic capacity, the maximal heart-rate frequency, and the index of chronotropic heart-rate.
