Overview
Chest x ray may be used as a diagnostic tool in the evaluation of aortic stenosis. Findings associated with aortic stenosis include left ventricular hypertrophy.
Chest X Ray
Chest X-ray may show hypertrophied left ventricle if there is aortic stenosis. In later stages of disease; the left ventricle dilates and the patient may have pulmonary congestion appears on X-ray. In case of severe aortic stenosis for a long time; the left atrium, pulmonary artery, and right side of heart may become enlarged too.
