FIELD: medicine, cardiology, pulmonology. SUBSTANCE: patients at preclinical stage of silicosis undergo echodopplercardiography. One should determine speed-time parameters of transtricuspidal circulation. Type of right ventricular filling is detected at the background of Walsalva's sample. At the presence of isolated diastolic dysfunction of right ventricle it is possible to diagnose initial degree of chronic cor pulmonale. The method enables to detect preclinical stage of chronic cor pulmonale at impact of quartz- containing dust. EFFECT: higher efficiency of diagnostics. 1 dwg, 1 ex
