Popis: Aim. To investigate central and peripheral hemodynamics in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients during aerobic physical training (APT) program. Material and methods. The study included 20 women, aged 37-65 years, who suffered from sero-positive RA with mild-to-moderate activity, for at least 3 years. The control group included 35 healthy women aged 35-64, without any cardiovascular pathology. All participants underwent individual APT programs (gymnastics, brisk walking for 30-40 minutes per day) for 4 and 12 weeks. Six-minute walking test, echocardiography (EchoCG), post-occlusion test with reactive hyperemia were performed in all participants. Results. At 12 weeks, walking distance in 65minute walking test increased by 12,5% (p0,05). Conclusion. Regular physical training in RA is essential for effective endothelium-dependent regulation of vascular tonus. Physical training does not affect central hemodynamics.
