Abstract

The aim of this paper was to make an attempt at characterizing a profile of patients referred for intramural systemic rehabilitation therapies. The analysis covered also an assessment of effectiveness of the rehabilitation applied to the patients.
The research material were data reported by five departments of intramural cardiac rehabilitation which had signed contracts with the Lodz Voivodeship Department of the National Health Fund. All the services had been performed in 2013.
The research showed that the largest group of patients subjected to intramural cardiac rehabilitation in the area of Lodz voivodeship in 2013 were the patients aged 56-75 (68,02% of all the researched).
The research analysis showed that the most commonly reported diagnosis was “unspecified heart failure” (58,04% of the whole of the research material).
The analysis of the modes of discharge from rehabilitation units showed that the mode of “completion of therapeutic or diagnostics process” accounted for 76,75% of all the researched patients.
It was noted that the vast majority of the patients subjected to cardiac rehabilitation were men (67,17% of the whole).
