    Abstract:
    The importance of bicycle ergometry for the objective assessment of the working capacity of patients with past myocardial infarction is great. Of 283 followed up patients with myocardial infarction III patients were examined by bicycle ergometry (39.2%). 66 patients of the latter group had restored their working capacity (59.4%) and 45 patients (40.6%) were disabled. The mean threshold power in all patients was 87.07 W, in the patients with restored working capacity the threshold power was 100.37 W, in the patients with group II disability it was 51.6 W and in the patients with group III disability it was 88.33 W. The dynamics of the threshold power was followed up by control bicycle ergometric examinations in 2-4 year intervals. In the patients with restored working capacity the threshold power was 107.69 W and in the disabled patients it changed from 70 to 80.83 W. The positive dynamics of the bicycle ergometric indices corresponds to the positive dynamics of the working capacity and the stabilization of the health condition of the patients with past myocardial infarction.
