Authors present results of their own study concerning psycho-sociological functioning in patients after mitral valvuloplasty or mitral valve repleasment. A sourse of data was information obtained from mail questionnaire in 60 persons. We have made an analysis of phenomena which influence on subjects' occupational activity. During the hospitalisation period, before and after surgical treatment, patients had hemodynamicly exam (with effort) to hold in estimation their condition. The results of this study shown that most of the subjects don't resume their occupational work. This is caused by psychological or psychosociological reasons (anxiety, fear before effort, no acceptation by employer at person after cardiosurgical treatment, etc). Authors underline necessity of the intensive psychotherapeutic action during the hospitalisation and just after it at ambulatory course.
