[The mechanisms of the adaptation of the cardiovascular system to physical loading in patients with arterial hypertension in the late periods following the hemodynamically adequate correction of aortic coarctation].

Arterial hypertension was detected in 40 (59.7%) of 67 patients operated on for aortic coarctation. The patients' age ranged from 15 to 35 years.

[Changes in the functional state of patients after radical correction of tetralogy of Fallot].

The authors studied the changes in the functional condition of patients in the immediate and long-term periods after radical correction of Fallot's tetralogy. The values of the heart pumping and contractile functions at rest and during bicycle ergometer exercise were studied by tetrapolar chest rheography; oxygen consumption was studied by spirometry. Thirty patients were examined in the early postoperative period and then 6 and 12 months after the operation.

[Arterial hypertension in the late period after the hemodynamically adequate correction of aortic coarctation].

The paper is concerned with a study of arterial hypertension in the long-term periods after the resection of coarctation of aorta in 77 patients aged 6 to 35 years. The complex of the patients' examination included bicycle ergometry. Arterial hypertension was revealed in 59.

[Physical rehabilitation using bicycle ergometry training of patients after aortic valve replacement].

After prosthetics of the aortal valve 30 patients underwent bicycle ergometry training at the sanatorial stage of rehabilitation. 10 patients who did not undergo bicycle ergometry training made up the control group. The efficacy of bicycle ergometry training was assessed according to the time-course of changes in pump and contractile functions of the heart and oxygen consumption at rest and during bicycle ergometry.

[Use of spirometry and bicycle ergometry in the assessment of the stability of mitral valve bioprosthesis].

Muscular and cardiac performance was assessed a spirometry and bicycle ergometry in two groups of patients aged 25-55 with mitral xenobioprostheses functioning normally. 36 patients were examined 1-3 years following surgery (group I), 23 patients in 3.5-8 years.
