One of the main features of vibroacoustic disease (VAD) is the proliferation of the extra-cellular matrix which induces cardiovascular morphological and dynamic changes, and has been evaluated through echo-Doppler. While all subjects exposed to large pressure amplitude (> or =90 dB SPL) and low frequency (< or =500 Hz) (LPALF) for at least 15 yr have thickening of some cardiac structure, most frequently the pericardium, no significant diastolic changes accompany these observations. Echocardiography has become the diagnostic method of choice for the VAD. However, there have been no studies relating the echo-images of pericardial thickening to gross anatomy.
