Short-term results of cardiac rehabilitation of coronary artery bypass graft patients using cardio-pulmonary exercise stress test
The paper presents an evaluation of short-term results of medical rehabilitation of patients treated by surgical myocardial revascularization. The rehabilitation programme has been carried out in a specialized rehabilitation facility. In addition to medication, the programme includes exercise therapy and physiotherapy. In response to rehabilitation treatment, the patients have exhibited higher exercise performance, improved respiratory function, myocardial electrical stability and lower functional class of angina. As a result of the treatment, the existing postinfarction cardiosclerosis has not affected the improved results of treadmill-stress test.
