چکیده

T HE first paper in this series' presented the results of heart disease case finding in the Boston Chest X-Ray Survey for tuberculosis, utilizing 70 mm. photofluorographic films which were read by the survey team for all abnormalities and then reread by a special group of radiologists, working in pairs, solely for abnormalities of the size and shape of the cardiac silhouette.

The results so obtained are so different from those of the previous paper that they are reported separately.
