Popis: Aim. To compare 10-year fatal cardiovascular event risk in people with high and low-stress occupation. To analyze main determinants of cardiovascular disease (CVD) prognosis and assess 10-year absolute risk of ischemic events in people with high-stress occupation.Material and methods. In total, 449 22-55-year-old men with high and low levels of professional stress were examined. Group I included 240 locomotive brigade workers (mean age 42,39±9,06 years), Group II - 209 workers with low level of professional stress (mean age 41,1±8,7 years). Study methods included CVD risk factor assessment: smoking, CVD in family history, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, glycemia, and total cholesterol level. In Group I, lipid profile (LP) and C-reactive protein (CRP) level were measured; 10-year total CVD risk was calculated with SCORE scale and 10-year absolute risk of myocardial infarction - by PROCAM scale.Results. In people with high-stress occupation, hypercholesterolemia prevalence was higher by 21,4%, and high 10-year total coronary risk prevalence was higher by 8,7% (p
