==Overview==
==Overview==
Although not the most preferred methodology, chest x rays may be used as a diagnostic tool in the evaluation of a cor triatriatum defect. Diagnostic findings may include cardiac enlargement, mitral stenosis, and potential additional defects.
The chest x ray findings in the patient with cor triatrium include non-specific observations such as [[cardiac enlargement]] and [[pulmonary congestion]] with diffuse haziness, [[Kerley B lines]], and pulmonary vascular redistribution.

* When cor triatriatum occurs as an isolated defect, the hemodynamic derangement is identical to that of [[mitral stenosis]] and the chest radiography shows a normal sized heart with changes of chronic interstitial edema.
