The character and severity of suffered infarction determine the tolerance to physical load, mainly in the early phase of the disease. Patients with a threshold capacity of 400 kgm/min and more may be pronounced capable of working irrespective of the character of the infarction suffered. Individuals over 55 years of age with a large oxygen deficit and relative cardiac insufficiency perform loads of 300 kgm/min and higher, which should be borne in mind in examination for determining their working capacity.
