  • Title: Chronic constrictive pericarditis associated with asbestosis.
    Author: Fischbein L, Namade M, Sachs RN, Robineau M, Lanfranchi J.
    Journal: Chest; 1988 Sep; 94(3):646-7. PubMed ID: 3409754.
    Abstract:
    Observation of chronic constrictive pericarditis associated with pulmonary asbestosis is reported here. Heart catheterization revealed typical patterns of cardiac constriction. The diagnosis of asbestosis was based on pathologic features associated with a long history of asbestos dust exposure without evidence for tuberculosis. The etiology of this constrictive pericarditis was related to an asbestosis pericarditis involvement.
