| Abstract |
Results of clinical examinations and laboratory tests covering 53 workers exposed to carbon disulfide for 5-15 years. Compared with healthy controls, the workers showed symptoms of cardiovascular disorders, a tendancy to hypertension and reduced blood irrigation of the myocardium, especially affecting the left ventricle. Disturbances of lipid metabolism, which was also observed in these workers, seemed to be a causative factor in this premature atherosclerosis. |
