Overview
Chest x ray findings associated with aortic insufficiency may include left ventricular enlargement, cardiomegaly, prominent aortic root with valvular calcification, prosthetic valve dis-lodgement, or aortic dilation. If aortic insufficiency is severe, signs of pulmonary edema may also be present.
Chest X Ray
In patients with aortic insufficiency, chest radiograph may show any of the followings:
- Cardiomegaly
- Prominent aortic root
- Aortic valve calcification
- Prosthetic valve dis-lodgement
- Aortic dilation
- Pulmonary edema, if aortic insufficiency is severe.
Below is the chest radiograph showing left ventricular enlargement secondary to chronic aortic insufficiency as a result of increased left ventricular systolic pressure and volume overload:
