Abstract

The paper outlines some experience in rehabilitating 1250 patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) undergone aortocoronary bypass surgery (ACBS). Rehabilitative measures promoted more rapid and maximally full recovery of physical fitness and cardiorespiratory parameters. The recommended groups of physical activity allow one to differentially approach to the choice of the optimum training regimen and hence to achieve the maximum training effect. The groundlessly high proportion of disabled patients with CHD after ACBS is due not to the quality of surgical treatment, but to the absence of a rehabilitative programme for this group of patients and to the presence of obsolete standard acts for definitions of disability groups by the medical-and-labor examination commission.
