Abstract |
Literature review concerning the potential effects of noise on the cardiovascular system. It is postulated that blood pressure, blood lipid levels, heart rate and vascular tone can be influenced by noise exposure. In particular, blood pressure appears to be the best predictor for long-term effects of noise on the cardiovascular system and certain lipoproteins could become specific markers for coronary heart disease in exposed workers. However, the distinction between personal risk factors, other confounding factors and a noisy environment in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease is important. Several research avenues are proposed for a more precise definition of the potential effect of occupational noise exposure on cardiovascular disease. |
