| Sumario: | The article focuses on the cardiovascular effects of simulated shipboard firefighting on sailors. A study involving seventeen subjects assessed myocardial function during firefighting tasks, revealing significant increases in heart rate, core temperature, and mean arterial pressure during the activities. Key findings included a decrease in heart contractility and heightened left ventricular workload, indicating a potential increased cardiovascular risk for sailors, particularly those with lower fitness levels, during prolonged firefighting efforts. The results suggest that shipboard firefighting imposes similar cardiovascular stresses as structural firefighting, warranting further attention to crew safety and health. |
