[[Chest X-ray]] is abnormal in the majority of patients with pulmonary hypertension at the time of diagnosis. However, there is no correlation between the degree of severity of PH and the findings on chest X-rays. [[Chest X-ray]] allows exclusion of left heart disease and lung disease that can lead to group 2 and group 3 PH, respectively. Findings of PH on [[chest X-ray]] include [[pulmonary artery dilatation]] and right sided enlargement of the heart.

Overview

A chest X-ray is abnormal in the majority of patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH); however, there is no correlation between the severity of PH and the findings on a chest X-ray. Findings of PH on a chest X-ray include pulmonary artery dilatation and right-sided enlargement of the heart. A chest X-ray may suggest that there is no compromise of the left heart if normal and allows for initial assessment of lung disease that can lead to group 2 and group 3 PH, respectively.

Chest X Ray

Findings of PH on a chest X-ray include:[1][2][3]

  • Hilar pulmonary arterial dilation
  • Loss of peripheral blood vessel markings
  • Enlarged right atrium, right ventricle and pulmonary arteries in advanced diseases.[4]

Shown below are chest X-ray images of patients with PH.
