LABOR FITNESS ESTIMATION OF DRIVERS WITH CORONARY HEART-DISEASE AND ARRHYTHMIAS AND PERSPECTIVES OF THEIR SOCIAL AND LABOR REHABILITATION

The paper presents the results of clinical and labour examinations of 51 drivers with cardiac arrhythmia. Long-term postinfarctional ECG mon itoring was attempted in 30 drivers in the course of driving. The freq uency of arrhythmia episodes correlated with the presence of extrasyst ole in acute and subacute period of the disease, anginal functional cl ass, the size and time of myocardial infarction. Single episodes of ve ntricular extrasystole registered in the course of driving did not int erfere with professional activities because such extrasystoles did not imply the risk of more severe arrhythmia. Labour prognosis in drivers with frequent, polytopic ventricular extrasystoles or fibrillation wa s much worse.
