The role of anthropogenic factors in the development of ecopathology of the cardiovascular system

Abstract

Introduction. Environmental pollution remains a significant problem worldwide, is the cause of increased mortality and, in turn, a factor in reducing life expectancy. The influence of the environment and pollution of the atmospheric basin by aeropollutants, causes mainly the development of diseases not only of the respiratory system, but also of the cardiovascular, digestive, and endocrine systems. Objectives. To study the epidemiological situation and the prognostic
significance of risk factors in the development of cardiovascular diseases and their complications in persons living in different ecological-biogeochemical zones. Materials and methods. A study on the relationship of risk factors to health indicators, classified as health and environmental monitoring, was conducted with the participation of 263 men and 35 women aged 18-65 working in industrial (chemical) production. According to catamnesis, 367 cases of men and women
aged 39-57 were analysed. Results. The conducted studies show the effect of aeropollutants on the progression of the atherosclerotic process with coronary heart disease.
