    Medicine does not stand still, today much more effective methods of treatment and rehabilitation of patients who have undergone this serious illness are being applied. Therefore also tightened the criteria for assessing the condition of patients for establishing disability .

    • 1st group is installed in case of permanent permanent disability and a significant decrease in the possibility of self-service.
    • The 2nd group is given with a partial permanent disability. This means that a person will have to change the scope of activity to one where the working conditions correspond to his physical and emotional state after the illness and do not pose a threat to health.
    • 3rd group - will allow the patient to return to his former activities( with the exception of works that are strictly forbidden to those who underwent myocardial infarction), but with some restrictions on working conditions.

    Why can I refuse

    In case of refusal you need to rejoice. Hence, health is restored and the forecast is very favorable .In which case formally the commission refuses to assign a group?

    In order to understand the reason for the refusal, it is necessary to know the criteria that are used by the members of the commission when conducting medical and social expertise( ITU), in whose competence is the disability assignment.

    Reasons for failure:

    • 's professional activities are not associated with high physical and psycho-emotional loads( librarian, office worker) and do not require its replacement for easier work;
    • Successfully performed treatment of , allowing not to fear recurrence of the disease( the condition is confirmed by laboratory, instrumental studies);
    • Complete retaining the self-service capability of .

    The recommendation for contacting the ITU is provided by the attending physician .He is the first instance that assesses the patient's condition and makes a decision to send for examination. If he finds that the patient is ready for work, he will simply close the hospital sheet.

    Which group is given by

    It is not possible to determine the general clear conditions for assigning a particular group. Myocardial infarction is an artful thing, and everyone tolerates it differently because of the nature of the current and the state of its own organism.

    The age of the patient is of great importance. Therefore, the commission's approach to each patient is individual.

    The first group of will be given to a patient who has very little chance of recovering from a heart attack, he has frequent attacks of angina and there are signs of heart failure that are difficult to treat.

    The second group assumes the inability to work in the former profession, especially associated with hard physical labor or other factors that can cause a worsening or relapse of the disease. In this case, it is necessary to change work to a lighter and, often, lower-paid one.

    In a patient's condition, there are periodic attacks of angina that require treatment and rehabilitation.

    The third group of is given to those who can stay in their original place and do the previous work, but with some restrictions, or will have to change it to an easier one. Such people can have rare failures in cardiac activity, because of which limitations are recommended.

    How to obtain: design details, medical examination
