Design: We compare our epidemiological data with those obtained in other studies previously carried out in Campania: "CNR-ATS-RF2-OB43".

Recently discharged infarct patients were examined to assess their ability to rehabilitate. This led to the elaboration of a classification based on polygraphic parameters, rather than the history and clinical record, coupled with comparison with the ideal values given for such subjects by the formula of Diamont and Killip.
