Abstract

A successful surgical correction of congenital non-cyanotic heart diseases (patent arterial duct, ventricular and atrial septal defects, isolated pulmonary stenosis) results in full normalization of the haemodynamics. But the long-lasting existance of the pathology, the limited phsical activity of the patient result in the development of a state of lack of training. In such cases the degree of the physical adaptation of the patient after surgery had to be assessed which will permit to determine the program of his physical rehabilitation. The studies conducted by means of bicycle tests and running on the spot with recording the pulse rate, respiration rate, arterial pressure and ECG have demonstrated that the degree of the physical adaptation of the patients varies, although the general results of surgery are qualified as good. No correlation of this adaptation with the clinical factors could be revealed in this study. Further investigations are necessary in order to take into account the effect of the training regimens on the degree of physical rehabilitation.
