[Cardiovascular diseases in motor vehicle drivers and traffic safety]

Epidemiologic, electrophysiologic and psychophysiologic studies among urban and rural automobile drivers helped to reveal occurrence of coronary artery disease (CAD), arterial hypertension (AH) and their risk factors. In addition, special studies (monitoring of ECG in natural conditions) among 118 drivers diagnosed the signs of coronary failure and arrhythmias. Psychophysiologic studies among the individuals suffering from cardiovascular diseases (CAD, AH and arrhythmias) proved worse parameters important for occupational activities and for traffic safety.
