    Abstract:
    124 capable men who had survived large focal myocardial infarction underwent a 24-day course of treatment in a cardiological sanatorium situated in climatic conditions of low mountains (1600 m above the sea level). It was found that posthospital rehabilitation under conditions of low-mountain climate promoted antiatherogenic shifts in blood lipoproteins composition most distinct in patients with hyperlipidemias. Hydrocortisone and renin levels returned to normal values, physical performance rose. These positive trends make nonpharmacological rehabilitation and secondary prevention of coronary heart disease in low-mountain climate promising.
