Purpose:
to analyze causes of sudden death (SD) of workers of locomotive crews. Materials and methods. We performed the retrospective analysis of SDs of employees of Joint Stock Company ( JSC) "Russian Railways" for the period 2009-2017 (total 119 cases). Results. As a rule, the combination of risk factors of development of cardiovascular diseases was present, but the SCORE scale risk of cardiac death was average. However, in 60 % of cases at life risks were not correctly assessed. Differences were found between the deceased depending on what type of locomotive they steered. Also, a part of SD victims overworked during the last month (year). Conclusion. Further improvement of work of medical service of JSC "Russian Railways" is necessary.
