Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases in locomotive drivers are a factor limiting their working activity, as they can potentially increase the risks of accidents and disasters in rail transport. Working conditions of drivers are associated with occupational hazards that have a negative impact on the cardiovascular system. A review of clinical studies examining the risk factors for cardiovascular disease indicates the significant role of psychological stress on the health status of drivers. It was revealed that the negative effects of stress on the cardiovascular system depend on work stress, work schedule, and also on social factors: job satisfaction, salary, quality of rest and sleep. The studies revealed a correlation between the development of cardiac rhythm disturbances of high gradations with psychoemotional stress and sleep apnea in locomotive drivers.

Summary
Обзор клинических исследований изучения факторов риска сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний свидетельствует о значимой роли психологического стресса на состояние здоровья машинистов. Что негативные последствия стресса для сердечно-сосудистой системы зависят от напряженности работы, режима работы, а также от социальных факторов: удовлетворенности работой, зарплатой, качеством отдыха и сна. Проведенные исследования выявили корреляционную взаимосвязь развития нарушений ритма сердца высоких градаций с психоэмоциональным стрессом и апноэ сна у машинистов локомотивов. В других странах с активным использованием железнодорожного транспорта также существует система оказания медицинской помощи работникам и изучается влияние условий работы на организм работников, в том числе машинистов локомотивов.
