In 114 persons with an average age of 30 years who were found out during an X-ray examination on account of pathological findings of the heart clinical examinations were carried out and the findings were compared with those of a control group of the same age which had normal fluorographic findings. Among the patients with radiologically provable enlargement of the heart were 29% of active sportsmen who in the majority of cases had no other findings. Moreover, the enlargement of the heart correlated with overweight, increased values of blood pressure, vitia cordis and with subjective heart complaints. The effectivity of the primary screening is confirmed by the establishment that 66% of patients free of symptoms could be established.
在114名平均年龄为30岁、因心脏病理检查结果在X线检查中被发现的人中，进行了临床检查，并将检查结果与年龄相同、荧光透视检查结果正常的对照组进行了比较。在心脏有放射学可证实增大的患者中，29%是活跃的运动员，大多数情况下他们没有其他症状。此外，心脏增大与超重、血压升高、心脏异常以及主观心脏不适有关。通过确定66%无症状患者得以确诊，证实了初步筛查的有效性。
