“…Patients with angina can benefit greatly from exercise treatment since the peripheral training effect results in a lower heart rate and lower systolic BP during effort, thus raising the angina threshold. Nearly all studies of the effects of physical training in angina report an increase in exercise capacity and a decrease in symptoms after training 21,55 . Most find that a proportion, from 30 – 100%, lose the symptom altogether for normal daily activities.…”

SUMMARYIn 1957, Hellerstein and Ford1 defined rehabilitation as ‘the process by which a patient is returned realistically to his greatest physical, mental, social, vocational and economic usefulness and, if employable, is provided an opportunity for gainful employment in a competitive industrial world’. They stressed the importance of starting the rehabilitation process ‘at the moment the patient is first stricken with his disease’, of mobilising the patient as soon as is practical and of paying close attention to the emotional as well as physical consequences of the attack. They believed that 80% of the aftercare of cardiac patients could be managed by the ‘private physician’ and only a minority required the attention of a specialist team.The time scale used in 1957 (three to four weeks in hospital) was rather different to the one we use today, but otherwise most of what he suggested then has scarcely been improved upon since. In 1968 Hellerstein2 went on to describe the physical training programme he had devised to improve the fitness of ‘habitually lazy, hypokinetic, sloppy, endomesomorphic over‐weight males’ who were the usual victims of myocardial infarction. He wished to ‘add life to years and perhaps add years to life’. The conclusions from his original study were that ‘an active intervention programme of conditioning including exercise, weight reduction, diet therapy, and cessation of smoking is feasible, reasonably acceptable and appears to be of benefit in the treatment of coronary heart disease’.

Changes in Physical Capacity, Heart Size and Function in Patients After Myocardial Infarction, Who Underwent a 4- to 6-Week Physical Training Program

From findings in 1,200 coronary patients after myocardial infarction, it was shown that a stationary course of treatment in a rehabilitation center, where a gradually intensifying, individually adapted physical training program is administered, can lead to statistically highly significant improvements in the functional efficiency of the heart, as well as in physical capacity, in a short period of 4–6 weeks. It should be stressed that these positive effects can be demonstrated in the early stages of rehabilitation from infarction, that is, directly following discharge from the hospital, in the same way as in a late course of treatment of the repeated therapy; it is also important to point out that similar favorable results were obtained for older groups as for younger ones under all parameters, within the same time. A 6-week training period is more effective than a 4-week one.

The above results indicate that a combined training program of strength and aerobic exercise of eight months induces positive hemodynamic, cardiorespiratory and muscular adaptations in patients with CAD. Many of these adaptations occurs within a period of four months and further improvement can appear if the systematic program continous up to eight months. However, the cessation of training may reverse to a large extent the obtained positive adaptations within a period of three months. Therefore, patients with coronary artery disease should follow a systematic exercise program throughout life in order to ammiliorate their health status and improve well being and quality of life.
