Patients after myocardial infarction require special care and promptly introduced cardiac rehabilitation. The primary aim of this study was to identify risk factors and their influence on exercise tolerance before and after cardiac rehabilitation (CR) provided under the Coordinated Specialist Care Programme\u2014Infarct (CSC-Infarct). (2) Methods: The study was carried out at the Cardiac Rehabilitation Centre of Slupsk Specialist Hospital on a group of 112 patients aged 35\u201387 (62.78 \u00b1 10.09 years) after myocardial infarction (MI), participating in CSC-Infarct. An exercise test (treadmill ECG test), the 6 min walk test (6MWT), echocardiography, blood test (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, TG), measurement of diastolic pressure ratio (DPr), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and BMI were performed in participants on the first and last day of CR. Rating of perceived exertion was assessed with Borg\u2019s scale. (3) Results: The overweight variable had the strongest effect on the increased value of initial: HR rest, HR max, and HR 1 min after exercise compared to subjects with normal BMI. DPr values before and after CR were also higher in overweight patients. Scores of 6MWT were higher in smokers compared to non-smokers. The final MET value was significantly higher in non-diabetic subjects. Hyperlipidaemia was associated with a higher initial HR max and initial HR 1 min after exercise. DPr before CR was also higher. The initial and final MET values were lower in hypertensive patients. Borg\u2019s rating of perceived exertion measured after the final exercise test was also higher in hypertensive patients. Hypertension influenced the initial and final 6MWT scores, which were significantly higher in normotensive patients. (4) Conclusions: CR within CSC-infarction in patients after myocardial infarction improves exercise tolerance. Exercise tolerance in post-MI patients with concomitant risk factors is lower compared to post-MI patients without risk factors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11195597","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,26]],"date-time":"2022-09-26T01:41:58Z","timestamp":1664156518000},"page":"5597","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Influence of Risk Factors on Exercise Tolerance in Patients after Myocardial Infarction\u2014Early Cardiac Rehabilitation in Poland"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8186-3232","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Bryndal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Institute of Health Sciences, Slupsk Pomeranian University, 76200 Slupsk, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3140-6313","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sebastian","family":"Glowinski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Higher School of Vocational Education in Koszalin, 75-582 Koszalin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Agnieszka","family":"Grochulska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Institute of Health Sciences, Slupsk Pomeranian University, 76200 Slupsk, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"European Heart Network, and European Society of Cardiology (2012).
