Introduction. One of the leading causes of occupational health loss, especially in mining and machine-building enterprises, is the combined impact of industrial noise and vibration. The wide prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is one of the most important medical and social problems, due to persistent disability and high mortality, bringing prevention of health disorders to the first place as the basis for preserving labor longevity. The aim of study is to identify the main approaches aimed at preventing health problems in workers who come into contact with vibration and noise at mining and machine-building enterprises. Materials and methods. A survey and survey of 296 industrial workers was conducted. Group 1 (160 people) included men who were exposed to noise and vibration factors above the maximum permissible levels, group 2 consisted of 136 men who did not have direct contact with noise and vibration generating equipment. When conducting an in-depth laboratory and instrumental examination in a hospital setting, all workers additionally calculated the level of cardiovascular risk on the SCORE scale. Statistical analysis was performed using the software package "Statistica 6.0". Results. It is determined that the priority adverse factors of the working environment in production are noise and vibration. It has been shown that individuals who come into contact with these factors are more likely to detect violations of lipid metabolism and endothelial function, have a higher average heart rate and systolic blood pressure, and have an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Conclusions. Taking into account the obtained results of the proposed diagnostic approaches aimed at the prevention of health disorders among workers of industrial enterprises. If employees are found to have an increased cardiovascular risk, it is necessary to conduct a more in-depth examination and timely medical and preventive measures.

The article deals with the role of the hardness of the vessel wall in the pathogenesis of arterial hypertension and its complications and cardiovascular mortality. We discussed the factors increasing the hardness of the vessel wall, such as age, blood pressure level, atherosclerosis, smoking and diabetes mellitus. We showed the indicators reflecting the status of the vascular wall and which could play a role of markers of increased risk of cardiovascular complications. We reviewed the data concerning the improvement of the parameters of the hardness of the vessel wall under the influence of antihypertensive therapy using the angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker - candesartan. We discussed the possible mechanisms of the candesartan influence on the elastic properties of the vessels. We stressed that the effect on the hardness of the arteries on using antihypertensive drugs, even within the same class, was different, which, apparently, was associated with the difference in the pharmacokinetic properties.

In most modern studies, masked arterial hypertension (MAH) is characterized as a poorly diagnosed, latent clinical condition predisposing to subclinical damage to target organs and an increased risk of cardiovascular complications. The prevalence of MAH among the population depends on gender, age, anthropometric and socioeconomic factors, profession, race and other characteristics. The most important risk factors (RF) of MAH and its pathophysiological determinants include genetic polymorphism, subclinical non-specific inflammation, hemostatic disorders, obesity, metabolic syndrome, water-salt imbalance, dyslipidemia, hyperuricemia. A defined value has latent dysfunction of the mechanisms that provide circulatory homeostasis, the detection of which is possible by the hemodynamic response to psycho-emotional, hypoxic, hypocapnic, orthostatic effects. Aggressiveness of RF exposure and the consequences of their implementation are evaluated by the rate of development of cardiovascular events and mortality, which indicate an unfavorable prognosis of “uncontrolled” MAH. The maximum reduction of the RF effects and rational pharmacotherapy can significantly improve its clinical prospects.

The review presents a modern view on stress as a risk factor for the development of arterial hypertension (AH). A variety pathogenic mechanisms responsible for increase of blood pressure during stress exposure are described in detail. The importance of the sympathetic activation as a key link in the development of stress-induced AH and initiation of a cascade of pathophysiological reactions that realize their adverse effects at the level of the whole organism is underlined. Particular attention is paid to worksite AH as a variant of stress-induced hypertension due to its wide prevalence and association with an increased risk of cardiovascular complications, primarily myocardial infarction and stroke. Epidemiological data and results of recent metanalysis are presented, indicating the high significance of job strain as a risk factor for adverse cardiovascular events. The actual psychological stress reduction programs are described. Possibilities of using β-blockers in patients with stress-induced hypertension as drugs affecting the central pathogenetic trigger of this disease are considered. The advantages of using bisoprolol as a highly selective β-blocker are considered taking into account the available body of evidence for its effectiveness in patients with worksite AH, as well as its metabolic neutrality and target-organ protective properties.

An increased risk of cardiovascular events has now been identified in patients with psoriatic arthritis. The chronic immune-mediated inflammation underlying psoriatic arthritis (PA) leads to the development of dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis and its complications, in particular, a high risk of cardiovascular complications. For PA, dyslipidemias are most characteristic, manifested by an increased level of low and very low density lipoproteins, triglycerides and total cholesterol, which correlates with the activity of the disease. The literature review studied the pathogenesis of dyslipidemias and vascular wall lesions in psoriatic arthritis, analyzed the literature on cardiovascular complications and mortality among patients with PA, studied the issues of total cardiovascular risk, presented the results of numerous clinical studies that allow PA to be considered a disease associated with increased the risk of cardiovascular complications. Considering the role of proinflammatory cytokines in the pathogenesis of psoriatic arthritis, early detection of endothelial lesions represents the most promising direction in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, which are the main cause of mortality in this group of patients.

The review is devoted to the discussion of modern concepts of the role of renal dysfunction in the development of chronic myocardial dysfunction in the context of cardio-renal syndrome (RVC) type 4. At the beginning of the review, the definition of cattle is given, general questions of pathogenesis and diagnosis of the disease are addressed. It is indicated that in patients with the initial stage of CKD, cardiovascular disorders are already registered which in the late stages of development of renal dysfunction are the leading causes of death and the true severity of the disease in patients with renal dysfunction is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, rather than an achievement terminal renal failure and requiring renal replacement therapy. The progression of renal pathology leads to damage to the heart through various mechanisms and factors, both traditional and non-traditional, some of which, at the culmination of the renal continuum, are the result of the dialysis procedure itself in patients with terminal renal dysfunction. Mechanisms for the development of congestive heart failure in type 4 cattle include pressure overload (arterial hypertension) and volume (anemia, edematous syndrome), which increase in proportion to the decrease in renal function. Increase in blood pressure, changes in intracardial hemodynamics, deterioration of arterial compliance contribute to the acceleration of cardiovascular events. The role of laboratory predictors of renal dysfunction in the progression of cardiovascular disorders is discussed. The general approaches of echocardiographic visualization of the heart cavities and its importance in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases are discussed. Special attention is paid to the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension, changes in the left and right ventricle of the myocardium with renal dysfunction.

Introduction. The high prevalence of diseases of the circulatory system of workers in various sectors of the economy, the lack of data on the effects of harmful production factors on the formation of cardiovascular diseases in petrochemical industry workers justify the importance of conducting special studies on these petrochemical complex plants with the aim of assessing cardiovascular risk with the subsequent development of preventive measures. Material and methods. The objects of the study were workers in the production of monomers (ethylene, propylene, ethylbenzene, isoprene, divinyl) of petrochemical enterprises. Hygienic studies of the working conditions of workers included an assessment of the factors of the working environment and the labor process using generally accepted methods. Comprehensive clinical examination of workers included periodic examinations (n = 2634) with calculation of total and relative cardiovascular risk using the SCORE system, using questionnaire data, a Reeder L questionnaire and an in-depth clinical diagnostic medical examination (n = 101) with the definition total cardiovascular risk. Results. The most significant occupational factors of the labor process for workers in the main profession - panmen were established to include the combination of a chemical factor with the occupational noise and labor intensity, with an overall assessment of working conditions 3.2. The class of working conditions of workers of the comparison group (locksmith in instrumentation and automation corresponds to the permissible). There were revealed a high prevalence of arterial hypertension and other factors of cardiovascular risk. A higher dependence of the arterial hypertension level on age and length of service in the group of panmen was established when compared to the mechanicians of instrumentation and automation. Using mathematical models of multiple regression, the likely dynamics of the level of arterial hypertension and the left ventricular myocardial mass index were calculated under the influence of increasing age and other risk predictors. Conclusion. The results of a clinical study showed workers with severe arterial hypertension, a high and very high risk of death from cardiovascular disease on the SCORE scale, a high and very high overall cardiovascular risk, signs of dyslipidemia, obesity, high stress levels to require close attention. It is important to timely diagnose lesions of target organs, to conduct rational prevention aimed at reducing risk factors. According to the results of the study, there were developed preventive measures aimed at reducing cardiovascular morbidity and cardiovascular risk, prolonging the longevity of workers in petrochemical industries.
