Cardiology in OH

The International Commission of Occupational Health (ICOH) Scientific Committee on Cardiology in Occupational Health (ICOH-CVD) serves a professional network of researchers, occupational health physicians and nurses, public health workers throughout the world concerned about the impact of work and work-related factors on cardiovascular health, ranging from hypertension, metabolic syndrome, to ischemic heart disease and stroke.

Linking economic globalization to the changing nature of work and its impact on the risk of CVD, and focusing on research, worksite interventions, and public health, we are organized as a Scientific Committee of the ICOH.

Our work focuses on identifying work-related physical, chemical, ergonomic, and psychosocial risk factors for CVD, the interplay of social disparities, work and health, interventions to reduce the burden of unhealthy work environment, and public policy concerns to foster change in working conditions.
