[Significance of clinical and functional diagnostic findings for the physical rehabilitation ability of the patients with heart infarct]. / Die Bedeutung klinischer und funktionsdiagnostischer Befunde für die körperliche Rehabillitationsfähigkeit von Herzinfarktpatienten

In 75 patients with condition after myocardial infarction or chronic ischaemic heart disease, respectively, was tested to what extent from clinical and functional-diagnostic findings prognostic estimations concerning the regaining of a cardiocirculatory functional capacity corresponding to age are possible by a complex rehabilitation programme. A daily ergometer training lasting eight weeks which was individually dosed was in the centre of rehabilitation. It was shown that from the findings of ergometry with permanent ECG-registration the effect of rehabilitation, as a rule, can be predicted.
