METHOD FOR CARRYING OUT EARLY PHYSICAL REHABILITATION OF CARDIAC ISCHEMIA PATIENTS Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves applying physical training exercises complex during 4 months beginning from the third week after myocardial infarction. The treatment consists of warming-up exercises and bicycle ergometer exercises. The loads are calculated from a formula: training heart beat rate = (threshold heart beat rate - rest heart beat rate)x(50-90%) + rest heart beat rate. During the first two months, training load is set to be equal to 50-60% of difference between the individual threshold heart beat rate achieved after bicycle ergometer test recently carried out and the rest heart beat rate. Next two months, the training load is defined as 70-90 % of difference between the new individual threshold heart beat rate measured after applying the second bicycle ergometer test and the rest heart beat rate. EFFECT: enhanced accuracy in selecting appropriate physical loading. 1 tbl
