The Uk

Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the UK. Cardiovascular diseases can affect those in employment and can limit working capacity. Multiple considerations should be taken into account when assessing return to work, including psychosocial factors. This chapter provides a comprehensive and up-to-date evidence-based overview of common cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, valvular disease, congenital heart disease, hypertension, syncope, and implantable cardiac devices including pacemakers (with a special section on implantable devices and electromagnetic fields). Topics of interest also covered within this chapter include travel, firefighters, stress, shift working, hazardous substances, hot conditions, and driving.

Physical examination remains an important part of cardiology practice because it facilitates the further investigation and treatment of those in whom heart disease is confirmed or suspected and helps to reassure those without a heart condition. Clinical signs can provide accurate, valuable diagnostic and prognostic information of great relevance to patients with most cardiac conditions particularly heart failure, coronary heart disease, valvular heart disease, and adults with congenital heart disease. This chapter reviews the most useful clinical signs in cardiology and discusses their relevance and accuracy expressed, wherever possible, as likelihood ratios; the reader should, however, be aware of the limitations of this sort of evidence-based approach because clinical signs should never be interpreted in isolation.
