title: Physiotherapy programme for patients following a myocardial infarction.
abstract: The physiotherapy programme for a patient who has suffered a myocardial infarction is always under medical direction. It can be divided broadly into four parts: 1. The acute stage, in the Coronary Care Unit. 2. The semi-acute stage, in the ward attached to the Coronary Care Unit. 3. The convalescent stage, at home, returning twice weekly for Out-Patient treatment. 4. The maintenance programme, which will be carried out for the rest of the patient's life.
