Overview
On chest x-ray, rheumatic fever is characterized by cardiomegaly and pulmonary edema secondary to heart failure.
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]
The following are a collection of radiological findings demonstrating the presence of rheumatic fever:
-
Plain chest film demonstrates bilateral increased interstitial markings.[2]
-
Patient was intubated and ventilated. A diagnosis of rheumatic heart disease was made. Cardiomegaly is present.[2]
