[Long-term ergometry and echocardiography results in patients following acute myocardial infarct with the best possible completion of rehabilitation phase I in accordance with the indications].
55 patients (43 males at the age of 60.3 +/- 10.8 years and 12 females at the age of 71.6 +/- 8.4 years) with earliest possible end of the rehabilitation phase I after acute myocardial infarction beginning with the end of the second week were as to their ergometric and echocardiographic parameters compared with an identical control group with usual duration of mobilisation. When discharged from hospital and one year after infarction they obtained with 50 to 23 and 72-26 watt respectively, the same numbers of watt as the patients of the control group. In the two groups the increase in vitality after the first year was obtained exclusively by men. In a short duration of phase I of two weeks they obtained the most favourable values with regard to number of watt, product of pressure rate, diastolic pulmonary pressure, diameter of left ventricle and atrium as well as to the shortening fraction at discharge from hospital and one year after infarction. The values were identical to those in the control group with usual duration of the rehabilitation phase I.
