背景-然而，潜在的职业健康影响仍不清楚。本研究的目的是检查工作人员在介入心脏病学/心脏电生理的健康问题的患病率，并与他们的职业radiation exposure.Methods和Results-We的长度使用自填式问卷收集人口统计学信息，工作相关的信息，生活方式混杂因素，所有当前的药物治疗，和健康状况。总共正确填写了746份调查问卷，其中包括466名暴露工作人员（281名男性; 449岁）和280名未暴露受试者（179名男性; 43 +/-7岁）。暴露人员包括218名介入心脏病学家和电生理学家（168名男性; 46 +/- 9岁）; 191名护士（76名男性; 42 +/- 7岁）和57名技术人员（37名男性; 40 +/- 12岁），平均工作时间为10年（四分位数：5-24年）。皮肤病变（P=0.002），骨科疾病（P
Background-Orthopedic strain and radiation exposure are recognized risk factors in personnel staff performing fluoroscopically guided cardiovascular procedures. However, the potential occupational health effects are still unclear. The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of health problems among personnel staff working in interventional cardiology/cardiac electrophysiology and correlate them with the length of occupational radiation exposure.Methods and Results-We used a self-administered questionnaire to collect demographic information, work-related information, lifestyle-confounding factors, all current medications, and health status. A total number of 746 questionnaires were properly filled comprising 466 exposed staff (281 males; 449 years) and 280 unexposed subjects (179 males; 43 +/- 7years). Exposed personnel included 218 interventional cardiologists and electrophysiologists (168 males; 46 +/- 9 years); 191 nurses (76 males; 42 +/- 7 years), and 57 technicians (37 males; 40 +/- 12 years) working for a median of 10 years (quartiles: 5-24 years).
