Abstract

Introduction: Regular physical activity can contribute to prevent diseases at the minimum cost possible, especially if it is a healthy life habit and not a risky activity that requires a strict and expensive specialized medical supervision.

Objective: To evaluate the influence of the physical exercise on risk factors of coronary disorders in patients with ischemic heart disease.

Methods: A descriptive investigation of 41 patients that had suffered from a heart attack and were part of a program of cardiovascular rehabilitation was carried out in the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Service of Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, from May, 2017 to the same month in 2019. With this purpose the most frequent risk factors of coronary disorders were selected in the sample, which were analyzed before and after the implementation of the program.

Results: Risk factors prevailed in men (68.4 %), with a higher incidence of hypertriglyceridemia in both sexes (56.1 %). After the rehabilitation, a decrease of glycemia, triglycerides and serum cholesterol figures was achieved.

Conclusions: The programs of cardiovascular rehabilitation improve the health of the patients and provide as well socioeconomic benefits to the society.
