Fibrocalcific foci in lt perihilar region region with fibrotic strands in lt upper and mid zones indicate that you may have had some infection in the past most likily TB which has now healed. Prominent bronchovascular markings are because of smoking or COPD. Blunted CP angles could also be because of COPD or some infection. Prominent heart size and unfolding of aorta indicate old heart disease or hypertension.
