[Clinico-functional criteria of work capacity and the characteristics of professional rehabilitation of patients with stenocardia].
Proceeding from the experience gained in the medical examination of persistent working ability loss, which was based on the results of bicycle ergometric studies in 383 patients with stable angina, the authors developed clinicofunctional criteria allowing the practitioner to establish the degree of physical working capacity limitation (poor, satisfactory, good). The validity of the criteria was confirmed by coronary angiographic evidence and long-term observation results. Over 3 years of the follow-up, 28% of the patients who had been group II invalids and 7% of the Group III died among those recorded by the medical-and-labour examination commission that used the criteria described above. All the individuals who had been regarded as being able to work survived. The occupational activities adequate to the fitness of patients with angina promote the development of adaptive mechanisms, mobilize the functional reserve of the blood circulatory apparatus, enhance their physical performance. It has been concluded that the efficacy of the medical-and-labour examination in angina is determined by an accurate assessment of its severity and closely associated with the application of bicycle ergometry.
