    Abstract:
    The incidence of ischemic heart disease (IHD) and risk factors of its genesis have been studied in 380 miners of a control group non-exposed to industrial vibration. Constitution type and a number of phenotypic signs have been determined for all examined workers with hemostatic indices defined in 60 miners before and after the performance of vibrational load test. High incidence of IHD, arterial hypertension and hyperholesterolemia have been detected in the miners working with vibration instruments and hemostatic disorders predisposing to ischemic heart disease have been revealed. In the miners of vibrodangerous occupations suffering from ischemic heart disease, hypersthenic constitution type determined by Rees-Eysenc index less than 92.2 and the height below 170 cm was found to occur more frequently.
