The authors compared the results of their own methods of rehabilitation after myocardial infarction, applied in two groups: 92 patients who were trained in the institute, and in other 92 patients who performed their rehabilitation training for some weeks at home. In all patients the working capacity (bicycle ergometry), psychosocial state and rate of return into professional activity over one year after infarction were examined. No statistically significant differences in the results obtained in both groups were found except for the working capacity, the improvement of which was significantly more pronounced in patients who performed their rehabilitation training in the institute.
