The evaluation of functional status of coronary patients has been made by means of a computerized numerical scoring system, using the results of clinical examination, functional cardiovascular and cerebrovascular tests, and psychosocial tests. The effectiveness of rehabilitation and secondary preventive programs for coronary patients treated at a health resort are rated on the basis of a difference between their functional status at the starting and finishing points of the program, as well as the resulting functional status after the program is over.
