title: [The physical capacity of men with ischaemic heart disease after cardiac rehabilitation].
abstract: The aim of the study was the evaluation of physical capacity of cardiovascular system and the ability to perform permitted exercises in a group of 114 patients who underwent pharmacological or surgical treatment of ischaemic heart disease and subsequently were submitted to 12 month lasting cardiac rehabilitation. Rehabilitation programme comprised hospital, sanatorium and ambulatory periods. The control group comprised 29 patients without changes in coronary arteries. All patients underwent treadmill test, according to Bruce protocol. The efficacy of rehabilitation was estimated in the particular groups regarding to the method of treatment. 143 men, were enrolled in the study in following groups: A--patients with the history of myocardial infarction (MI) treated pharmacologically (n = 29) B--patients with the history of MI after surgical treatment (n = 29) C--patients without MI after surgical treatment (n = 28) D--patients without MI treated pharmacologically (n = 28) K--control group (n = 29). All men in groups A, B, C completed cardiac rehabilitation programme. The highest level of physical capacity was observed in group of operated (CABG) patients. Patients treated pharmacologically reached significantly lower level of physical capacity.
