I have an Xray 2 days from now and I have 4 results:


1) The bronchovascular markings are prominent with no definite active parenchymal infiltrates.

2) Heart shadow is enlarged

3) Diaphragm is intact

4) The rest of the visualized thoracic structures are unremarkable.


The question is What it means of all that 4 result?

Hi! Good day!

Everything is normal except for the enlarged heart.
You might want to consult your IM-cardiologist to determine the cause of this.
