[Mass screening of coal miners with ischemic heart disease]
Abstract:
As a result of epidemiological and clinico-functional studies occupational peculiarities of ischemic heart disease (IHD) among miners were detected. The role of a number of industrial factors in the development of arrhythmia with unfavourable prognosis was assessed. Persons at risk for development and progress of IHD were identified. A method of dynamic control over their cardiovascular system was suggested. The findings of the study formed the basis for a complex follow-up programme for miners with IHD.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
