[Characteristics of the effect and the effectiveness of the terrain cure in patients 6-12 months after a myocardial infarct].

The effect of terrain cure, the dose of which was determined by the level of physical tolerance, was studied in 121 patients treated according to a rehabilitation program on the South coast of the Crimea 6 to 12 months after myocardial infarction. According to the peculiarities of the clinical electrocardiographic and hemodynamic reactions recorded by examination during terrain cure, groups of patients differing in the degree of adaptation to the load of the cure were distinguished. This made it possible to differentiate the treatment and appraise its results objectively.
