Rehabilitation of the coronary patient.

Tirlapur VG, Hossain MA, Sandler G, Walker HE.

Abstract

52 out of 56 patients with myocardial infarction completed a 6-week rehabilitation programme. The exercise programme started on the second day of admission and continued during the patient's stay in hospital and for 6 weeks thereafter, with weekly attendances at the hospital. All the patients were assessed monthly by a coronary rehabilitation team. 77% of the patients went back to work in an average time of 9.5 weeks after onset of the infarction; 61% went to their original jobs and 16% had to modify their jobs. The approximate hospital cost per patient for the complete course was 11.33 pounds.
