Changes in the functional state of cardiovascular system in patients with ischemic heart disease by means of physical rehabilitation

Abstract

The majority of scientific papers devoted to the use of certain means of physical rehabilitation, do not deal with adaptive rearrangements for people suffering from ischemic heart dis-ease that occur under the influence of dosed physical loadings. The purpose is to determine the effect of physical rehabilitation on functional state of cardio-vascular system of people suffering from ischemic heart disease (stable angina pectoris second functional group) during the post-hospital period. The study was conducted in cardio-pulmonological department of Clinical Hospital of the Lviv Railway in Bryukhovychi. 50 patients aged 50 – 60 were involved into the research. Both men and women were distributed into two homogeneous groups. As a result of the rehabilitation process, which included the use of a modified health-related fitness, dosed walking, health path, massage and physiotherapy, there was improvement of physical capacity and cardio-vascular system functioning state caused by widening and developing of peri-pheral vessels and myocardium ones as well.
