  • Title: [Bicycle exercise in the free load regimen and hemodynamics in inpatients with ischemic heart disease].

    Abstract:
    Hypokinesia is not an independent risk factor of ischemic heart disease (IHD) but it contributes to progression of this disease because of a positive correlation with such risk factors as arterial hypertension, dislipoproteinemia, obesity, hyperinsulinism, diabetes mellitus type 2. This dictates the necessity to add exercise to pharmacotherapy of IHD. Combined treatment of IHD including bicycle exercise in the free load regimen significantly improves cardiac pump function--a 32.0 and 34.7% mean rise in stroke index and ejection fraction in patients under 60 years of age, respectively. The above rise does not depend on the initial condition of hemodynamics. There are cases when the increase is the highest in patients with the least baseline indices showing the presence of adaptive reserves which realize in physical training. The patients treated had no complications. Thus, use of the above bicycle exercise in IHD patients can be recommended for hospital rehabilitation.
