Abstract
The relationship between cardiovascular disease rates in military liquidators of the Chernobyl NPP accident aftermath over years, their radiation exposures and age at the time of recovery activities. During the first 15 years after the accident, cardiovascular disease incidence in military liquidators increased 6-fold (from 25 to 145 ‰), predominantly due to arterial hypertension and ischemic heart disease. Over the subsequent years, incidence decreased to 60–75 ‰. Incidence depended on the age of arrival for recovery activities at the Chernobyl NPP: the younger the liquidators were the earlier and quicker the circulatory pathology appeared and progressed. There was no relationship between cardiovascular disease incidence and the absorbed dose of radiation.
