Estimation of infarct size from serum creatine phosphokinase elevations of 22 acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients was compared to their functional exercise capacity determined on a bicyle ergometer. Eleven of these patients entered a controlled exercise program for 3–4 mo and were subsequently retested. Aerobic power of the exercise group increased significantly (mean +- SE 1.42 +- 0.5 met) and was also significantly greater than an unpaired control group tested the same number of months after infarct. Patients grouped 2.5–4.5 mo post-AMI demonstrated a correlation between aerobic power and estimated infarct size (r = -0.68, n = 15). This correlation was higher (r = -0.84, n = 11) after 3–4 mo of a controlled exercise program.
