Abstract

107 practically healthy employees of a commercial poultry unit (46 men and 61 women) were examined. Hypertrophy of the left ventricle was revealed in 15% of men and 8% of women. The highest rate of personal anxiety and accumulated stress was revealed in the group of women. The detected relations between psychosocial factors and the index of myocardium mass of the left ventricle can serve as the basis for developing programs of primary prevention of stress-associated disturbances of the heart, taking into account the gender factor.

Keywords

hypertrophy of the left ventricle, psychosocial factors, gender distinctions.
