[Development of adaptation of the cardiovascular system in rehabilitation phase III in patients with acute myocardial infarct].
In 30 men with proven myocardial infarction we performed a complex examination of cardiopulmonary capacity at the beginning (about 8 weeks after myocardial infarction) and at the end of rehabilitation phase III (5-6 months after infarction). Of these patients the results from microcatheterization at rest and during exercise are present. In addition we determined the relative quotient of effort (kpm/kg), maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 max) and maximum oxygen pulse (max O2 pulse). For the majority of the patients the parameters given suggested a significant improvement in the physical capacity after termination of rehabilitation. The improvements also concerned the functional capacity of the heart muscle, its increase in contractility during exercise. Conclusions are drawn about the selection of the patients for physical performance.
