title: [The frequency of resuming work among patients with ischemic heart disease after the second phase of rehabilitation].
abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate the frequency of resuming work among IHD patients after stationary posthospital rehabilitation. 30 patients after MI and revascularisation operations were taken into consideration: A-13 patients who resumed work and B-17 who did not do so. 30 healthy, working men (KZ) were used as a control. ECHO and exercise tests were carried out before and after rehabilitation. The following parameters were analysed: EF%, and HR, SBP, DBP and Dp both rest and exercise, Lt (wat), VO2 and MET, EF% was found to be lower in A and B groups compared to KZ. In both study groups physical efficiency before treatment was low, but after rehabilitation there was a significant increase in efficiency parameters. Consequently, the A group were classified in medium levels, whereas group B remained in low efficiency class. VO2, MET and Lt after rehabilitation in A group were significantly higher compared to those in the B group. 43% of all patients tested resumed work. People with higher education prevailed in the group who resumed work.
