ABSTRACT
A two-year follow-up of 400 patients with prior myocardial infarction and usage of regression and discriminant analysis algorithms provided a number of linear models to predict changes in the patients' working capacity over the observed period. A variety of models depending on the feasibility of a laboratory to apply instrumental tools for examination suggested their wide utilization. The advantage of the models is that a small set of signs is used, no computer engineering is required. The models may be used in patients with different clinical disease (uncomplicated, repeated or cardiac aneurysm-complicated myocardial infarction). The modelling provided accurate prediction at 84-100% levels.
