Peculiarities in epidemiology and clinical course of main cardiovascular diseases: arterial hypertension (AH), atherosclerotic and microvascular forms of ischemic heart disease (IHD), and their outcomes in liquidators or clean-up workers at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station have been considered based on the data of specialized cardiologic survey and prospective 25-year observation of the revealed pathology. It has been shown that the ionizing radiation in small doses under certain conditions can be considered as one of starting mechanisms of the system vascular disfunction facoring the development of AH and IHD. It has been found that their further pathogenesis and outcome in liquidators are ultimately determined by the quality and character of the primary and secondary prophylaxis aimed at the correction of the following life style and working conditions, as well as by the timely administration of pathogenic therapy.
