[Physical exercises in rehabilitation of patients with coronary heart disease at in-patient stage].

The main directions of state-of-the-art physical rehabilitation of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) are early activation and development of new harmless programs of physical training (PT), improving indices of central hemodynamics and physical efficiency (PE) of patients. The purpose of the work is to study how bicycle training (BT) by the method of free choice of load (FCL) influence on central hemodynamics and PE of patients with various clinical forms of CHD at in-patient stage of physical rehabilitation. 185 patients with various forms of CHD at the age from 46 to 76 years (average age 68.4 +/- 1.6 years), 99 males and 86 females, were examined. Including of BT by the method of FCL in combined treatment of CHD patients was accompanied by significant improvement of heart pumping ability: increase in beat index, ejection fraction and PE in all clinical groups. Use only traditional therapy leaded to significant improvement only of ejection fraction, volume of performed work and threshold power in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and angina, but less expressive than with the use of BT. Absence of complication in our patients during treatment makes possible to recommend use of the method for CHD patients at in-patients stage of medical rehabilitation.
