[Outpatient coronary groups. 1st experiences with high-risk infarct patients after a year's model experiment].
One year's experience with patients after myocardial infarction with low physical capacity (high risk-patients) and their participation in coronary clubs. After satisfactory results have been recorded with coronary training-groups at Hamburg first results can be reported from a trial with a coronary exercising-group at the patient's community. Patients after myocardial infarction with low physical capacity (high risk-patients) have participated regularly in coronary club meetings. One year's observation with medical controls showed no hazards from special adapted exercises combined with health education. Cardiac complications did not occur. The exercise program aims on increasing coordination and flexibility; general aerobic endurance is not to be improved. Thus a better and more economical functioning of the cardiovascular system is reached; life quality is improved. Further propagation of the coronary exercising-program is recommended if the described precautions are observed. This way many coronary patients could benefit also from long-time participation in comprehensive care in coronary clubs, which were up to now excluded from coronary training groups because of high risk.
