[Results of a longitudinal study of coronary diseases in occupational exposure to carbon disulfide].

A seven-yer longitudinal study was carried out on the risk of coronaropathy origination in workers, exposed to increased carbon sulphide concentrations. Increased number of the subjects with manifestations of positive and probable IHD was observed among those exposed no increase was observed among the controls. The significance of carbon sulphide as a basic and potentiating risk factor to smoking and hypertension cannot be still determined.
