[Physical work capacity in isometric and dynamic regimens in patients with stenocardia and cardiac-type
Abstract:
It is established that the strength of both hands is much weaker in patients with angina pectoris than in healthy individuals. Development of an atypical cardiac pain syndrome leads to a significant diminution in the strength of the left hand of patients with angina pectoris and to a considerable reduction in endurance. In patients with cardiac-type neurocirculatory dystonia, the strength in the left hand and the endurance of isometric exertion are diminished. The endurance of dynamic exertion is sharply reduced in patients with chronic coronary insufficiency. Physical working capacity is substantially higher in patients with cardiac-type neurocirculatory dystonia than in those with angina pectoris and lower than in practically health individuals.
