[Physical rehabilitation of patients who have had a myocardial infarct--the polyclinic stage]. 1987

A Kokutsov, and L Petev

70 patients who had suffered myocardial infarction were treated for a period of two months by a rehabilitation program including domestic activity, remedial gymnastics and prescribed walking. The program was carried out in polyclinical and domestic conditions. The patients were classified into functional groups according to the classification of the New-York Cardiological Association. At the end of the rehabilitation treatment the number of patients in functional class II sharply increased, a slight increase was noted also in functional class I, but the number of patients in functional class III significantly decreased. The number of patients able to walk 5 km or more increased, too. Of the 70 patients treated by this rehabilitation program 62 (88.58%) fully restored their working capacity and the functional state of their cardiovascular system was classified as I or II functional class. The remaining 8 patients (11.42%) still needed polyclinical treatment. The authors' experience supports the need of a rehabilitation program for patients who had suffered myocardial infarction which has to be carried out in polyclinical conditions and will be direct continuation of the rehabilitation program carried out in the hospital or in the specialized sanatoria.
