title: [Work capacity evaluation in patients with valvular prostheses].
abstract: The possibility of evaluating the capacity for work of subjects wearing heart valve prostheses is analysed. The many factors affecting the return to normal life after operations for valvulopathies are not considered. In strictly medical terms cardiac terms cardiac function can be adequately evaluated by anamnestic and clinical surveys, supplemented by standard non-surgical instrumental examination with particular emphasis on echography, computerised radioisotope angiocardiography and physical exertion tests.
