• Description:
  While the empirical evidence presented in Chapter 2 strongly suggests that psychosocial, ergonomic, and physical workplace stressors make an important contribution to risk of CVD, the workplace has yet to become an integral consideration for clinical cardiology. In recent textbooks and/or millennium reviews in cardiology, hypertension, and internal medicine, the work environment is only minimally discussed with respect to CVD; most often this area is ignored entirely. Consequently, there are very few guidelines (with the exception of those related to physical activity levels) to help clinicians make informed recommendations concerning occupational factors as these pertain to individual patients with various degrees of CVD severity. The challenge remains, as articulated over a decade ago by Giorgio Maisan, to offer the cardiac patient a style of life and of work that protects both his or her health and right to be productive.
