Determination of the physical working capacity of patients after surgical correction of heart disease and appraisal of the functional condition of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems allow for establishing a program of physical rehabilitation and judge its efficacy during follow-up of the patient. The bicycle ergometry test in cardiosurgical patients has certain features. The submaximum and threshold loads should be distinguished. The use of step-by-step increasing interrupted test is recommended. The duration of the rehabilitation period and delayed reactions are important in appraising the reaction to the load. The use of the extrapolation method in calculating taindications for the bicycle ergometry test for cardiosurgical patients.
