  • Title: [Incidence of hypertension and ischemic heart disease with temporary disability among workers exposed to vibration].
    Author: Tsvetkov D, Tsacheva N.
    Journal: Gig Tr Prof Zabol; 1990; (1):11-4. PubMed ID: 2328916.
    Abstract:
    The article reveals the pathologic changes in man caused by vibration and detects morbidity with temporary disability (MTD), hypertension disease (HD), and ischemic heart disease (IHD) in vibration-related professions in ore extraction, metallurgic industries, etc. The morbidity data used are established on vascular tension, neuro-humoral regulation and lipid metabolism changes, and the results obtained are given in comparison with the nation-wide computerized MTD-data for 1982-1986 and those for the Communication branch. Considerably high HD and IHD incidencies have been revealed in vibration-related professions and compared to the sample branch. Computerized systems' possibilities are evaluated in MTD occupational risk-factors assessment.
