SUMMARY Aim: To evaluate the quality of life of patients with stable angina pectoris, the decrease of physical load tolerance by them and influence of prevention measures for their quality of life. Methods of the study: The following research methods were used for the study: questioning of patients, interview method, method of document analysis, statistical data processing. The study sample consisted of 93 investigated persons. All investigated persons were divided into two groups: the first group included patients with stable angina pectoris of functional classes III-IV; the second group comprised the investigated with stable angina pectoris of funktional classes I-II (according to the classification of the Canadian Heart Association). Findings: Very limited physical activity was found in 14,6 % of patients of the investigated group, moderately limited in 29,2 %, partially limited in 39,5 %, litlle limited in 12,5 % and unlimited in 4,2% of patients of the investigated group. After receiving findings of the study we could state that physical activity was more or less limited in more than 95 % of patients with AP (of functional slasses III-IV). The number of patients of the compared group distributed in the following way by the abovementioned ranges: very limited physical activity was in case of 11,1% of patients, moderately limited in 40 %, partially limited in 31,1 %, little limited in 11,1 %, unlimited in 6,7 % of patients of the compared groups.
