STATE OF THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM UNDER EXPOSURE TO HARMFUL RISK FACTORS IN MINING INDUSTRY WORKERS

Abstract

Currently, one of the most significant problems in professional pulmonology is the issue of improving the quality of early diagnosis of dust lung diseases, the development of which is associated with exposure to dust aerosols of varying degrees of fibrogenicity. A systematic approach to early diagnosis of dust lung diseases will contribute to timely diagnosis, and will also allow predicting the development and course of respiratory and hemodynamic disorders, and contribute to the timely treatment of complications such as chronic cor pulmonale.
The article provides an analysis of the data of foreign and domestic authors on the most common adverse occupational risk factors for the occurrence and condition of cardio-vascular system for workers in the mining industry. Exposure to the harmful dust factor increases the risk of hospitalization for not only respiratory but also cardiovascular diseases. However, the mechanisms of etiology, pathogenesis, features of the course of cardiovascular diseases in mining workers, a number of issues on this issue remain poorly understood. In this regard, a differentiated approach is needed to study working conditions in the mining industry, based on real production situations, using a wide range of medical and biological indicators of the health of workers, a probabilistic assessment of the negative consequences of the impact of working environment factors on the health of workers in this sector.
