Overview

Although not the most preferred methodology, chest x rays may be used as a diagnostic tool in the evaluation of an atrial septal defect. Diagnostic findings may include enlargement of the atrial border or cardiomegaly.

Chest X-ray

Chest X ray may show an enlarged right atrial border or cardiomegaly if significant pulmonary hypertension is present.

Imaging

Enlarged right atrial border and mild cardiomegaly.
Lateral view
Post repair. Enlarged right atrial border and mild cardiomegaly.
Post repair. Lateral view.
ASD. Another patient. Enlarged right atrial border and advanced cardiomegaly.
