AIM: To evaluate effects of manual therapy on clinical manifestations, hemocoagulation in CHD patients early after surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Microcirculation, blood rheology, platelet count and aggregation by Born, plasma recalcification time according to Bergergof and Roka, plasma tolerance to heparin according to Gormsen, fibrinogen content by Bidwell in Andreenko's modification, the condition of vertebromotor segments were assessed in 68 CHD patients early after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABS). RESULTS: The addition of manual therapy to the complex of early rehabilitation measures in coronary patients early after CABS eliminates postoperative anginal attacks in 70% cases, reestablishes balance of cellular and plasma components of hemostasis, enhances fibrinolytic activity. CONCLUSION: The addition of manual therapy in the rehabilitation complex is recommended early after CABS.
