[The programme of managed ambulatory rehabilitation for patients after heart valve defect surgery].

Unlabelled: THE AIM of our research was to evaluate the impact of 8-week comprehensive rehabilitation programme on circulatory parameters, left ventricular (LV) function and functional capacity of patients after aortal (ao) and mitral (mi) heart defect surgery.

Patient Sample And Methodology: The rehabilitation programme was completed by 54 patients (exercising, RHB+) following valve defect surgery (13 women/41 men), aged 27-83 (56 +/- 16) years. The majority were patients with aortal (ao) stenosis (39), the remainder had a combined ao defect (7), ao regurgitation (3) or mitral (mi) regurgitation (5).

[The influence of rehabilitation on peak oxygen consumption in patients after myocardial infarction treated with beta-blockers].

Unlabelled: THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY was to verify whether rehabilitation programs improve both stress tolerance and peak oxygen consumption (pVO2) plus the consumption of oxygen at the level of anaerobe threshold (AT) in patients after myocardial infarction treated with beta-blockers. Our objective was to find out the differences in changes in the above indicators in elderly patients. THE SET of consisted of 2 groups of patients aged over 65 (56 +/- 6.
