[Effect of transportation noise on the status of the cardiovascular system of the population].

The results of a multipronged study of noise effect on the state of the cardiovascular system of the urban population are presented. The study of regular noise effect on various population groups has been conducted under natural and laboratory conditions. A complex of appropriate investigation techniques has been used. The population of noise-exposed regions has higher rates and more distinct forms of disorders in myocardium, vessel elasticity, hemodynamics, extracardial regulation and higher risk of cardiovascular disease than those living under more quiet conditions.
