Occupational cardiovascular disease being electrolytically produced, is associated with stroke. 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
Helen Hobbs Dallas Heart Ball Chair in Cardiology Research, Philip O'Bryan Montgomery Jr., M.D., Distinguished Chair in Developmental Biology, and Eugene McDermott Distinguished Chair for the Study of Human Growth and Development. In 1999, she co-founded the Dallas Heart Study with Dr. Jonathan Cohen with a grant from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation. This study takes genetic samples of thousands of people, representative of the population of Dallas, and correlates them to the subject's health metrics. Through this study, she found that variations in the gene PCSK9 led to increased protection from cardiovascular disease. Recent results from the genetic study show that
