Early complex restorative treatment with individualized aerobic physical exercise in 2-4 weeks after surgical myocardial revascularization significantly increased physical working capacity and cardiorespiratory reserve of the body. Pronounced oxidative stress which had been present after myocardial revascularization decreased under the action of restorative therapy. Most pronounced increases of total physical capacity and cardiorespiratory reserve and lowering of oxidative stress occurred in patients with lowest initial parameters of the functional state of the organism.

The following markers of oxidative stress were measured spectrophotometrically before and after the programme: lipid peroxidation products (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, diene conjugates and lipid hydroperoxide) and markers of blood antioxidant status (blood glutathione markers, blood antioxidative capacity and lag phase of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)). To evaluate the functional indices of the cardiorespiratory system the patients underwent bicycle cardiopulmonary testing before entering and after completing the programme.
