    Abstract:
    Aim of this study was to estimate prevalence of resting electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities in men with high physical work demand, like construction workers and the prevalence of secondary related cardiovascular examinations. Several guidelines for cardiovascular risk management recommend an ECG in patients with cardiovascular risk but there are no clear indications about the frequency of resting ECG during evaluation for fitness for work. The results of our study confirm the presence of age-related ECG abnormalities with a similar stratified prevalence distribution in all age-classes. Our fundings intend to contribute to further discussion in occupational health policies and periodical medical evaluations.
