AB  - The general lines of radiocardiographic practice in the framework of 
      rehabilitation of cardiac patients based on 15 years experience are summed up. 
      The basic technical elements of the scheme were: integration of the 
      radiocyclographic method and of nuclear procedures with the traditional 
      diagnostic investigations, with microcatheterization, co-ordination of the 
      loading principle in the form of exercise tolerance tests with the 
      radiocardiographic and radiocyclographic routine, adaptation of digital data 
      collection and storing for off-line computer analysis, extension of the data 
      collecting system of the radioisotope laboratory to the adjoining intensive care 
      unit. In a group of middle-aged patients with earlier transmural infarction being 
      on a rehabilitation training program the responses to loading were similar to 
      those of a control group formed by normal aged males. In the patients having had 
      artificial valve implantation or mitral commissurotomy, a favourable progress in 
      terms of the New York Heart Association (NYHA) rating was demonstrable, the most 
      informative parameter of assessment having been the distribution of effective 
      circulating blood volume in the central circulation. Moreover, an increase in 
      stroke volume at rest as well as in response to loading was demonstrable within 
      1--2 months after operation and also 3 1/2 years later. The diagnostic value of 
      the 133Xe-technique for the measurement of ventilation and perfusion of the upper 
      and lower regions of the lung was confined to patients with mitral stenosis or 
      mitral valvular disease.
