[Preliminary psychological survey in the study of cardiac rehabilitation through controlled physical activity]

Abstract

The authors carried out an enquiry in 32 patients as part of a more extensive study which permitted them to show the necessity of early physical rehabilitation after myocardial infarction which should be gradual and as prolonged as possible under permanent medical control. Subjects under training usually adhere enthusiastically to this program of progressively complete and rapid social reinsertion, by the development of new relationships, whether personal, familial or professional.
