Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally. Studies indicate a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity, smoking, diabetes, hyperuricaemia, and lipid metabolism disorders among seafarers. The presented literature review highlights a significant gap in current data regarding the prevalence, clinical course, and prognosis of numerous cardiological conditions in this occupational group. The study focused primarily on coronary artery disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and arterial hypertension among seafarers. Recently, there has been a growing emphasis on the intensification of preventive measures as well as early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. Seafarers represent an occupational group that may significantly benefit from individualized diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. The use of modern technologies - such as advanced echocardiographic techniques for risk stratification and mobile devices for arrhythmia detection - may significantly improve the effectiveness of identifying diseases before the onset of complications, particularly in situations where access to medical supervision is limited both during work and free time on the ship due to specific conditions at sea.

心脏病专家如何看待海员?
心血管疾病是全球死亡的主要原因。研究表明,海员中心血管危险因素的患病率较高,如肥胖、吸烟、糖尿病、高尿酸血症和脂质代谢紊乱。目前的文献综述强调了在这一职业群体中,关于患病率、临床病程和许多心脏病预后的当前数据存在重大差距。该研究主要关注海员中的冠状动脉疾病、心力衰竭、心房颤动和动脉高血压。最近,人们越来越强调加强预防措施以及心血管疾病的早期诊断。海员是一个可以从个性化诊断和治疗策略中显著受益的职业群体。使用现代技术,例如用于风险分层的先进超声心动图技术和用于检测心律失常的移动设备,可大大提高在并发症发生之前识别疾病的有效性,特别是在由于海上特定条件而在船上工作和空闲时间获得医疗监督的机会有限的情况下。
