Occupational cardiovascular disease Occupational cardiovascular disease Occupational cardiovascular disease is disease of the heart or blood vessels that are caused by working conditions, making them a form of occupational illness. Little is known about occupational risks for heart disease, but links have been established between cardiovascular disease and certain toxins (including carbon disulfide, nitroglycerin, and carbon monoxide), extreme heat and cold, exposure to tobacco smoke, depression, and occupational stress. Other occupational hazards potentially related to cardiovascular disease include noise exposure at work, shift work, and physical activity at work. A 2015 SBU-report including a systematic review of non-chemical risk factors for occupation cardiovascular
BaleDoneen Method if patients have plaque in their arteries since heart attacks and strokes can only occur in people with this disease. A 2015 study of more than 5,000 adults, published in Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that most initial cardiac events do not occur in patients considered at “high risk” based on risk factor scores. The study also stated that the accuracy of cardiovascular risk prediction was “significantly improved” if vascular imaging, such as ultrasound imaging or Coronary Artery Calcium score (CAC), was used. During the initial evaluation, and to monitor response to treatment with the BaleDoneen Method,
