Job strain and autonomic indices of cardiovascular disease risk
TLDR
The disturbed cardiovascular regulatory pattern associated with job strain may help explain the increased risk of cardiovascular diseases linked with occupational exposure.Abstract:
Background
Despite the epidemiological evidence linking job strain to cardiovascular disease, more insight is needed into the etiologic mechanisms. This, in turn, would help to more precisely identify risk.
Methods
We measured Job Strain using the Job Content Questionnaire, 8/day diary reports, and nationally standardized occupational code linkage, as well as autonomic regulation utilizing heart rate variability including spectral-derived components and QT interval variability in 36 healthy mid-aged males with varying strain jobs. The subjects wore Holter-monitors for 48 hr; this included a work and rest day.
Results
Job strain (P = 0.02) and low decision latitude (P = 0.004) were associated with a reduction in cardiac vagal control (HFP) persisting throughout the 48 hr. Job strain was also associated with elevations in sympathetic control during working hours (P = 0.003).
Conclusions
The disturbed cardiovascular regulatory pattern associated with job strain may help explain the increased risk of cardiovascular diseases linked with occupational exposure. Am. J. Ind. Med. 48:182–193, 2005. © 2005 Wiley-Liss, Inc.read more

TL;DR: Chronic job strain after a first MI was associated with an increased risk of recurrent CHD and remained an independent predictor of recurrent ChD in a multivariate model adjusted for 26 potentially confounding factors.

TL;DR: There is a need for a wide range of strategies to manage work-related stress among veterinarians, and sources of stress in the workplace must be identified and strategies developed to control those which present a significant hazard.

TL;DR: Findings may indicate that research into parasympathetic nervous system activity should be focused to protect cardiovascular health at work and propose the use of very low and ultralow frequency HRV components in autonomic research for workers' health.

TL;DR: In this article, a strategy for redesigning jobs to reduce unnecessary stress and improve productivity and job satisfaction is proposed, which is based on the concept of job redesigning and re-designing.
