Abstract
The work draws attention to ventricular rhythm disorders, having a connection with physical activity, the diagnostic value of conducting physical testing with a careful analysis of the recovery period. A clinical example is given illustrating that ventricular arrhythmias of the early recovery period are associated with increased activity of the sympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system, and an additionally carried out paired pharmacological load test with a short-acting β-blocker allows not only to verify the correctness of the assumption, but also to predict the effectiveness of treatment with these drugs.
