      physical activity in the chronic stage of myocardial infarction].
PG  - 736-42
AB  - Coronary angiographic (CAG) findings, exercise tolerance and daily physical 
      activity were studied with reference to aging in 314 cases of the chronic 
      myocardial infarction and in 199 cases of angina pectoris. Exercise tolerance was 
      evaluated by a symptom-limited treadmill test and the daily physical activity by 
      the functional classification of the New York Heart Association (NYHA) based on 
      questionnaires filled out by the patients. Although the single to multivessel 
      disease ratio decreased with age, there was no significant trend in diffuse or 
      segmental character of stenosis with age. In addition, more than 80% of patients 
      showed good exercise tolerance of more than stage II in Bruce's protocol. 
      However, there was a general trend towards decrease in exercise tolerance with 
      age. Furthermore approximately 80% of patients showed a good daily activity. 
      However, the NYHA (I + II) to NYHA (III + IV + cardiac death) ratio was lower in 
      patients aged 60 or more compared to those under age 60. Patients aged 60 or more 
      with single vessel disease had lower daily physical activity compared to the 
      under 60 age group, although this did not seem to be related to any physical 
      limitation. Therefore, social and occupational aspects as well as the clinical 
      severity of ischemic heart disease should be considered in the treatment of 
      elderly cases.
