Abstract
- The paper presents the results of a study of cases judged by the District Court in Piotrków Trybunalski in 2004, in which petitioners sought permanent work-disability benefits on grounds of cardiovascular diseases. The largest group of petitioners included those with hypertension, coronary disease and a history of myocardial infarction. The largest percentage of persons judged to be work-disabled were those having suffered a myocardial infarction, but this was true also for individuals with cardiomyopathies, as well as cardiac rhythm and conduction disturbances. Disorders judged to pose the least limitation on the ability to work encompassed non-specific pain in the thoracic cavity, and hypertension.
