Radiographic Report

Three views of the thorax are available for interpretation.  The trachea is deviated dorsally toward the spine and there is prominence of the cardiac silhouette at the 4 to 6 o’clock position on the ventrodorsal view consistent with left ventricular enlargement.  There is a bulge at the caudodorsal border of the cardiac silhouette consistent with left atrial enlargement.  The aortic arch appears dilated.  The pulmonary veins and pulmonary arteries are mildly dilated, most evident to the caudal lung fields on the ventrodorsal view.  There is reduced abdominal serosal detail compatible with age or abdominal effusion.

Conclusions:  

Left-sided cardiomegaly with dilation of pulmonary arteries and veins. Compatible with left-to-right shunting congenital heart defect.  No evidence of congestive heart failure.
