    Abstract:
    The paper presents the results of clinical and labour examinations of 51 drivers with cardiac arrhythmia. Long-term postinfarctional ECG monitoring was attempted in 30 drivers in the course of driving. The frequency of arrhythmia episodes correlated with the presence of extrasystole in acute and subacute period of the disease, anginal functional class, the size and time of myocardial infarction. Single episodes of ventricular extrasystole registered in the course of driving did not interfere with professional activities because such extrasystoles did not imply the risk of more severe arrhythmia. Labour prognosis in drivers with frequent, polytopic ventricular extrasystoles or fibrillation was much worse.
