Aim Of The Study:
to elucidate rates of development of arterial hypertension (AH) at working place (wp), risk factors of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), anxiety depressive disorders in persons with professional stress. We carried out monitoring of arterial pressure during working hours and hours of rest, assessed risk factors of CVD development, and evaluated severity of symptoms of anxiety and depression using the Hamilton scale in 138 men (mean age 40.0+/-1.2 years). Results of the study evidenced for high frequency (46.4%) of development of AHwp among representatives of stressful occupations. Patients with AHwp have risk factors of CVD development and total coronary risk comparable with those of patients with hypertensive disease. Patients with AH have more pronounced anxiety depressive disorders than healthy subjects.
