[Significance of studying hemodynamic reactions to physical exertion in the evaluation of work capacity of women after surgery for congenital heart defects].

The hemodynamic indices under conditions of growing physical exercise were studied in 15 healthy women and 17 patients operated for the congenital heart disease. The operated women were found to have a restricted ability to increase the stroke volume. The individual choice of the level of everyday domestic and professional activity should be made with special reference to individual hemodynamic reactions upon the physical exercise.
