6. Cardiovascular disease is so prevalent that virtually all businesses are likely to have
employees who suffer from, or may develop, this condition. Research shows that between 50-
80% of all people who suffer a heart attack are able to return to work. However, this may not
be possible if they have previously been involved in heavy physical work. In such cases, it may
be possible to move the employee to lighter duties, with appropriate retraining where
necessary. Similarly, high-pressure, stressful work, even where it does not involve physical
activity, should also be avoided. Human Resources managers should be aware of the
implications of job roles for employees with a cardiac condition.
