Resumen

SUMMARY Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality and cause considerable morbidity and disability. Angor pectoris and myocardial infarction is associated with decreased functional capacity and impaired daily lives of older people. For the treatment of AMI and angina have various therapeutic modalities such as percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and drug-only treatment that you can associate a physical therapy program. Angor pectoris and the myocardial infarction are characterized by decreased quality of life of seniors. The prevention and treatment of these diseases includes physiotherapy, as of great importance in the prevention of cardiovascular risk. Cardiac rehabilitation increases functional capacity, independence and quality of life and reduce disability. Also, no major changes are needed in elderly patients who can improve their exercise capacity similar to younger patients. The scientific evidence on prevention of cardiovascular disease shows that intervention in the management of risk factors such as lipid levels, may reduce morbidity in patients with coronary disease We performed analytical blood each patient, pre and post physiotherapy heart for lipid levels (total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides) and then we compared the results. All study groups were a reduction in total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides and increased HDL-cholesterol. In regard to total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol, the effectiveness of the program has been higher in the group of patients with myocardial infarction and in those treated with PTCAstent. With regard to HDL-cholesterol, the program has been more effective in the group of patients diagnosed with myocardial infarction and in those treated only with drugs. With respect to triglycerides, we have obtained more effectively in the group of patients suffering from angor pectoris and in those treated with PTCA-stent
