    This study examined managers and railway controllers, finding high rates of concerning electrocardiogram (ECG) changes. These findings suggest significant occupational risks associated with neuropsychic stress and hypodynamia in these professions.

    Area of Science:

    • Occupational health
    • Cardiology
    • Psychophysiology

    Context:

    • Investigates two professions with high neuropsychic stress and hypodynamia: industry managers and railway controllers.
    • Examines 19 managers and 41 controllers, assessing occupational risk factors.
    • Utilizes electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis with the Minnesota code (WHO 1968) and Swedish modification.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the cardiovascular health of professionals in high-stress, low-activity jobs.
    • To identify potential occupational risks related to neuropsychic stress and hypodynamia.
    • To correlate ECG changes with specific occupational demands in managers and controllers.

    Summary:

    • High percentages of positive working samples indicating potential cardiac issues were observed in both managers and controllers.

  • The study highlights a considerable occupational risk for cardiovascular health in these professional groups.
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG) changes were assessed using standardized coding systems to quantify cardiac responses to occupational stressors.

    • Impact:

    • Suggests a need for targeted health interventions and risk management strategies for high-stress professions.
    • Provides valuable data for occupational health policies concerning managers and railway transport controllers.
    • Contributes to understanding the long-term cardiovascular implications of demanding work environments.
