Overview
On chest x-ray, rheumatic fever is characterized by cardiomegaly and pulmonary edema secondary to heart failure.[1]
Chest X Ray
On chest x-ray, rheumatic fever is characterized by cardiomegaly secondary to carditis and valve abnormalities. Pulmonary edema may be noted if rheumatic fever has progressed to cardiac failure.[1]
