Overview
A chest X-ray is a useful test during the initial evaluation as well as during follow-up among adolescent and young adult patients with tricuspid regurgitation.[1]
There are no x-ray findings associated with [disease name].
OR
An chest x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of tricuspid regurgitation during the initial evaluation as well as during follow-up among adolescent and young adult patients. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of tricuspid regurgitation include cardiomegaly, prominent cardiac silhouette, right atrial enlargement and pleural effusions.
OR
There are no x-ray findings associated with [disease name]. However, an x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].

An chest x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of tricuspid regurgitation. Findings on an chest x-ray suggestive tricuspid regurgitation include:
- Cardiomegaly can be noticed when the tricuspid regurgitation is severe due to right ventricle enlargement
- Cardiac silhouette can be noticed on the right in the x-ray along with the pulmonary artery view
- Right atrial enlargement can be noticed
- A view of azygos vein can be seen when the pressure is elevated in the right atrium
- Pleural effusions can be noticed
- An upward displacement of the diaphragm can be noticed due to ascites
- Prominent right and left pulmonary artery hilar segments can be noticed on the x-ray
OR
There are no x-ray findings associated with [disease name]. However, an x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include:
- [Complication 1]
- [Complication 2]
- [Complication 3]
The chest x-ray in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation may reveal cardiomegaly with evidence of right atrial and ventricular enlargement. Radiologic findings suggestive of underlying left-sided cardiac abnormalities can also be seen.
