Course Description

Fifty percent of heart attacks occur in individuals under the age of 65 and two-thirds survive a cardiac event. 


You will learn:

  • Common cardiovascular conditions leading to work disability.
  • The personal, workplace, insurance and health care influences on cardiovascular work disability.
  • Workplace and clinical interventions that help to sustain work for persons with heart disease.


Take home messages:

  • Cardiovascular work disability is a result of a combination of personal and workplace factors.
  • Rehabilitation and medical reassurance are important to restore worker confidence in getting back to work.
  • In the workplace, transitional reintegration programs, accommodation, and workplace health support are valuable in helping workers stay on the job.
