[Comparative evaluation of different programs of physical rehabilitation in acute myocardial infarct]

The conducted randomized comparative study of 305 patients with acute myocardial infarction included into different programmes of physical rehabilitation has demonstrated that better results are achieved with fast rehabilitation in those with a relatively mild and moderate course of the disease, and with comparatively slower rehabilitation--in those with severe lesions. The regimen of motor activity has to be recommended on an individual basis to the infarction patients, with due regard of the severity of their state and its prognosis. A programme of rehabilitation is presented that prescribes the scope and tempo of motor activity extension depending on the severity and prognosis of the lesion determined mathematically on the basis of the described original technique.
