Overview

Findings on chest x-ray suggestive of myocarditis include cardiomegaly, pericardial thickening in presence of pericarditis, pulmonary edema, and pleural effusion.

X Ray

Chest radiograph findings in patients with myocarditis depend on the severity of the condition and may reveal:

• Cardiomegaly associated with cardiac failure
• Most often normal cardiac silhouette
• Pericardial thickening in presence of pericarditis
• Pulmonary edema
• Pleural effusion
