Oxidative stress is an important nonclassical risk factor for myocardial infarction (MI), and thus, it seems extremely important to recognize factors that effectively reduce it. The aim of our study was to explore possible influences of short-term cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on oxidative stress in men after MI. It was found significant decrease in isoprostanes in urine in nonsmokers but not in smokers during CR. After CR, nonsmokers had lower isoprostanes in urine, lower non-transferrin-bound iron, and higher erythrocyte catalase than smokers. The results of this study indicate for the first time that short-term CR of only 2 weeks in duration already has a positive effect on reduction of oxidative stress.

Results of our studies dealing with pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and thrombosis will give insight in the nature of disease and would influence the efficacy of treatment of these diseases. Therefore, findings of our research group would help clinicians to choose more efficient and rational therapeutic precedures which will help to improve quality of life. As for example quantification of effects of rehabilitation and and requirements for vascular medicine
