Popis: Within the scope of a physical examination, more than 147,000 patients from the Eastern part of France, were examined and had a chest X-ray, between 1982 and 1987. Seven physicians read those radiographs and reported their findings. After discussion of an interindividual variation noted between the seven physicians, the authors present the major findings of this study: relation between a cardiovascular anomaly discovered on the radiographs and a high blood pressure; relation between a cardiovascular anomaly discovered on the radiographs and one or several electrocardiographic anomalies; relation between anomaly of the cardiovascular silhouette as seen on the radiographs and increased levels of triglycerides and cholesterol in young adults.
