An Occupational Analysis of 580 Cardiac Clinic Patients

, THE STAFF OF THE WORK CLASSIFICATION UNIT¹ , ADULT CARDIAC CLINIC¹

¹ From the Third (New York University) Medical Division, Bellevue Hospital, New York, N. Y.

This report, the first of a series, presents a fairly detailed analysis of the occupational status of a group of cardiac clinic patients as found at a single point of time. An analysis of this type sheds little or no light on the effects of occupation on the course of heart disease, but it does give some indication of the extent to which cardiacs can carry on useful activities.
