Abstract
Ageing results in increased role of vessels and lower role of myocardium in self-regulation of circulation; longer length of shift work leads to higher systolic, pulse and average dynamic BP: longer length of dispatching work causes higher ratio of systolic BP to pulse rate. Shift work increases occurrence of unfavorable cardiovascular changes by 4-12 years; peculiarities of the dispatcher's work speed this course by extra 2 years. The earliest unfavorable changes with the process are seen in vascular portion.
