[Features of the clinical and functional state of myocardial infarction patients with psychogenic silent ischemia].

A total of 111 patients with myocardial infarction were studied in the early, period of the disease. Exercise and information load tests, impedance plethysmography, electrocardiography, and large-framed fluorography were performed. Among the patients with myocardial infarction who responded to information load by exhibiting transient silent ischemia, vasospastic reactions were demonstrated to be diagnosed mainly in those with posterior myocardial infarction.

[Possibilities for the rehabilitation of patients with myocardial infarction without application of coronary drugs during hospital treatment ].

When restorative treatment was performed in 51 patients with myocardial infarction, 3 groups were identified, each including 17 persons. The main group comprised those whose rehabilitation had been achieved by early physical trainings with coronary active agents; the first control consisted of those who had gone in for physical exercises and received antianginal drugs, the second control group included those whose rehabilitation had been conducted by the well-known procedures (therapeutical exercises, graded walking, nitrates, beta-blockers, calcium antagonists). The treatment resulted in improvement in the functional status of patients from the main and the first control groups as compared to those from the second control group.
