Overview
Chest x ray may be used as a diagnostic tool in the evaluation of aortic insufficiency. Findings associated with aortic insufficiency include left ventricular enlargement.
Chest X Ray
In patients with aortic insufficiency, chest radiograph may show cardiomegaly, a prominent aortic root with valvular calcification, prosthetic valve dislodgement or aortic dilation. If aortic insufficiency is severe, signs of pulmonary edema may also be present.
Below is a chest radiograph showing left ventricular enlargement secondary to chronic aortic insufficiency as a result of increased left ventricular systolic pressure and volume overload.
