[Rehabilitation results with patients having had a myocardial infarct]

Abstract

Results are reported of rehabilitation treatment of patients with a history of myocardial infarction (53 died, 65 are living for 10 years during this observation). Follow-up studies indicate that duration of life following myocardial infarction is determined not only by the size of infarction after the first coronary catastrophe but also by the frequency of reinfarctions and progression of the atherosclerotic process.
