[Behavior of biochemical parameters in probands with suspect cardiovascular findings in relation to age and sex. Studies of a representative sample following roentgen image screening (the Berlin cardiac detection and monitoring model)].

Based on the high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and the necessity of improved treatment, selected biochemical results from a complex follow-up examination after x-ray screening are presented. Significant differences (alpha less than or equal to 0.05) were found for LTT, cholesterol, glucose, uric acid and erythrocyte-sedimentation rate compared to a healthy control group. Furthermore, a significant age-dependent increase of creatinine as well as an age-dependent decrease of transaminases only in men were found. The results show the value of the x-ray screening method in persons with risk of cardiovascular disease characterized by morphologic x-ray findings, and can be referred to population.
