title: [Role of a local therapeutic service in the timely identification, treatment, and rehabilitation of patients with coronary heart disease].
abstract: Local polyclinic therapists' long experience in timely identifying, treating and rehabilitating patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) is analyzed. A local therapist's attention is given to diferent course types--the clinical manifestations of CHD. The principles of continuity in the work of a therapist and a hospital: possibilities of extrahospital treatment are denoted; indications for hospitalization are specified. Rehabilitative measures include psychotherapy sessions in addition to drug, dietary, and exercise therapies. Continuity in the work of a therapeutic unit and a sociomedical expert commission contributes to the elaboration of clearer criteria for determining the degree of working capacity loss.
