title: [Cardiovascular disease and professional activities].
abstract: Cardiovascular diseases occurrence in the industrial countries is very high and represents one of the major cause of invalidity and mortality. Studies show the close connection between cardiovascular diseases and other risk factors. In Italy heart diseases prevention is one of the main goals of the National Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. Coronary disease increased by 40% among shift-workers and those workers exposed to vibrations and microclimate; extra-auditory effects of noise have also proved to be relevant. Reintegration into labour market and work eligibility certificate can be a problem for patients with coronary diseases, after pathological events. A record of the cardiovascular system could be useful for a readmission to work, in particular after acute episodes. The PreSAL service on the basis of the 2009 data provided by qualified doctors did not show professional diseases but the undervalue may be due to the limited use of specific complementary tests.
