Abstract
Progression from local vibration to cardiovascular pathology in patients with vibration disease is associated with remodeling cardiac and vascular tissues under effect of oxidative stress. Myocardium and nodular tissue are most vulnerable during development of occupational cardiopathy. Alteration of the heart rhythm wave structure is a predictor of remodeling.
