[The characteristics of the rehabilitative treatment of patients with a history of unstable stenocardia].

While examining forty-nine patients with the history of unstable angina pectoris (UAP), it was established that the sanatorium stage of rehabilitation with the proper extension of sick leave being accorded to such patients, is indicated in cases of low tolerability of physical exercise (50 wt and less) when discharged from hospital. Those patients with prior UAP who can tolerate physical exercise at 75 wt and above, are recommended to resume their work. In addition, improvement in tolerability of physical work loads in patients with prior UAP was found to be accompanied by diminution in the left ventricle cavity size.
