Overview
Routine chest x-ray examination is important in the evaluation of patients with signs or symptoms of congestive heart failure,[1] valvular heart disease, pericardial disease, or aortic dissection/aneurysm. The presentation of cardiomegaly, characterized by pulmonary congestion on a chest x-ray, is indicative of a poor prognosis for the patient.[2]
