“…Moreover, delivery of oxygen and nutrients is dependent on functional, as well as structural veracity of the heart and blood vessels [7]. Hypertension, which is considered to be the most common vascular syndrome, is likely to extend structural modifications in the heart, as well as blood vessels [8]. In addition, elevated pressure in the vascular system is most likely to give rise to internal ear bleeding via the anterior inferior cerebellar artery, which extends support to the internal ear artery, and, together with the cochlear and anterior vestibular arteries, is likely to result in gradual or abrupt HL.…”

Objectives This study investigated the hearing loss characteristics among occupational noise exposure workers with hypertension and the link between hypertension and hearing loss when exposed to occupational noise. Methods A total of 267,766 occupational noise-exposed workers were enrolled, including 29,868 workers with hypertension and 240,165 without hypertension. Hypertension was diagnosed according to WHO criteria. Hypertension was classified into four grades based on blood pressure. Assessment of hearing was performed through measurement of an unadulterated tone threshold at different frequencies, which ranged between 250 and 8,000 Hz. Results A substantial link was observed to exist between hypertension and the increment in the hearing limit. The increase in the hearing threshold was substantially higher among those having grade 2 hypertension. Conclusion The current investigation suggested patients with hypertension exhibit a substantial rise in hearing loss in comparison with patients without hypertension. The rise in hearing loss was significant in patients with grade 2 hypertension. Efficient and practicable measures are required to decrease the hearing loss in workers with hypertension and work-related noise exposure.

“…Unfortunately, AH already existing at a young age leads to an earlier onset of IHD, stroke, and transient ischemic attacks (11). Although military personnel are usually more fit, has more physical activity and regular physical examinations, and therefore considered to be in lower risk than the rest of the population, it was shown that 13% of the American military staff had AH (12). Therefore, in order to prevent already-mentioned complications both in the civilian population and in active-duty military personnel, health authorities in many countries try to optimize their guidelines for establishing diagnosis and treatment of CVDs, including AH, as well as expenditures connected with these health care activities (13,14).…”

Cardiovascular diseases, including ischemic heart disease, are the most common causes of morbidity and death in the world, including Serbia, as a middle-income European country. The aim of the study was to determine the costs of preventive examinations for ischemic heart disease in active-duty military personnel, as well as to assess whether this was justified from the point of view of the limited health resources allocated for the treatment of the Republic of Serbia population. This is a retrospective cost-preventive study which included 738 male active-duty military personnel, aged from 23 to 58. The costs of primary prevention of ischemic heart disease in this population were investigated. Out of 738 subjects examined, arterial hypertension was detected in 101 subjects (in 74 of them, arterial hypertension was registered for the first time, while 27 subjects were already subjected to pharmacotherapy for arterial hypertension). Average costs of all services during the periodic-health-examination screening program were €76.96 per subject. However, average costs of all services during the periodic-health-examination screening program for patients with newfound arterial hypertension and poorly regulated arterial hypertension were €767.54 per patient and €2,103.63 per patient, respectively. Since periodic-health-examination screening program in military personnel enabled not only discovery of patient with newfound arterial hypertension but also regular monitoring of those who are already on antihypertensive therapy, significant savings of €690.58 per patient and €2,026.67 per patient can be achieved, respectively. As financial resources for providing health care in Serbia, as a middle-income country, are limited, further efforts should be put on screening programs for ischemic heart disease due to possible significant savings.
