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.

Background: Despite fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided deferral of revascularization, recurrent events in patients with diabetes or after myocardial infarction remain common. This study aimed to assess the association between FFR-negative but high-risk nonculprit lesions and clinical outcomes.
Methods: This is a patient-level pooled analysis of the prospective natural-history COMBINE (OCT-FFR) study (Optical Coherence Tomography Morphologic and Fractional Flow Reserve Assessment in Diabetes Mellitus Patients) and PECTUS-obs study (Identification of Risk Factors for Acute Coronary Events by OCT After STEMI and NSTEMI Patients With Residual Non- Flow Limiting Lesions).
