Tolerance to physical activity and mental performance of patients in the second stage of rehabilitation after aortocoronary bypass surgery

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the dynamics of the restoration of physical activity tolerance (PAT), cognitive functions and mental performance (MP) in patients who completed the program of cardiac rehabilitation after aortocoronary bypass surgery. The results of the study showed that for the majority of patients before inclusion in the program of cardioresistance, PAT and MP indicators were reduced, mild and moderate cognitive impairment was detected. At the end of the rehabilitation program, the normalization of PAT was noted in 80% of patients, there were no signs of cognitive impairment in 60% of patients. The indicators of MP corresponded to the norm in the majority of those surveyed. Thus, the majority of patients who completed the program of cardiac rehabilitation II stage after aortocoronary shunting achieved restoration of cognitive functions, MP and physical performance.
