Overview
Chest x-ray may show enlarged left ventricle and atria, pulmonary edema, and associated pleural effusions.
X Ray
Chest x-ray may show one of the following findings:
- Enlarged left ventricle and atria
- Pulmonary edema: Pulmonary vascular congestion increases the risk of acute decompensated heart failure by about 12 folds.
- Associated pleural effusions.[1]
Chest X-ray may give clues to the cause of DCM as congenital malformations, valve calcifications, or evidence of trauma (alcoholic patients)
