[Program and results of 10 weeks' physical training of myocardial infarct patients and patients with exertion stenocardia].
This is a report on the results of physical training in 52 patients who had myocardial infarction and in 8 patients with angina pectoris of effort who had not suffered infarction. The training lasted 10 weeks, 3 times a week using a bicycle ergometer. 75% of the patients have accomplished the entire program of training. Patients who had myocardial infarction showed threshold capacity increased by 22%, which is considerably higher than in the group with no training. The work equivalent to the exercise was performed after training with lower pulse rate and systolic arterial pressure. In the majority of patients the volume of the heart decreased, as determined by X-ray and the amplitude coefficient of apex cardiogram diminished which justifies the assumption of improvement in the state of the myocardium in these patients. In patients with angina pectoris of effort there was an increase of threshold capacity which is explained by decreased pulse rate and systolic arterial pressure after physical loading.
