Abstract
The case of 57-year-old man with chronic ventilatory insufficiency due to asbestos pleurisy and sequelae of pulmonary tuberculosis is described. Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation therapy appeared to improve the pulmonary hypertension. Ultrasonic cardiography was valuable in the serial assessment of pulmonary artery pressure.
