Overview
Chest x ray findings associated with aortic regurgitation may include left ventricular enlargement, cardiomegaly, prominent aortic root with valvular calcification, prosthetic valve dis-lodgement, or aortic dilation. If aortic regurgitation is severe, signs of pulmonary edema may also be present.
Chest X Ray
In patients with aortic regurgitation, chest radiograph may demonstrate any of the following findings:
- Cardiomegaly
- Aortic dilation
- Increased cardiac silhouette (suggestive of aortic dissection)
- Widened mediastinum (suggestive of aortic root dilation)
- Pulmonary congestion (suggestive of pulmonary edema or pulmonary hypertension in severe AR)
- Prominent aortic root
- Aortic valve calcification
- Prosthetic valve dislodgement
Below is the chest radiograph demonstrating left ventricular enlargement secondary to chronic aortic regurgitation as a result of increased left ventricular systolic pressure and volume overload.
