Overview
The chest X Ray in Ebstein’s anomaly of the tricuspid valve may demonstrate cardiomegaly, a dilated right atrium and a pruned pulmonary vasculature.
Chest X Ray
Shown below is the chest x-ray of a patient with Ebstein's anomaly which demonstrates cardiomegaly:
Severe cases
- Massive cardiomegaly (balloon shaped globular heart, "wall to wall" heart)
- Diminished pulmonary vascularity
- Dilated right atrium
- Left heart border becomes straight or convex due to dilated and displaced right ventricular outflow.
The chest radiograph may be normal in patients with less severe disease.
