Abstract

From 22 patients in the late period of recovery from myocardial infarction, cardio-pulmonary data were recorded at rest and during exercise. The physical work was increased stepwise until patients reached their individual limit of exercise. According to the different work capacity four groups of patients were formed with the aim to demonstrate the adaption processes of cardio-pulmonary parameters until reaching the peak of work capacity. In one half of the patients we still found signs of cardial insufficiency at rest. After only slight physical work signs of cardiac insufficiency appeared also in the other half of patients.
