Overview

On an x-ray Ebsteins anomaly findings include a large globular heart with a narrow waist due to enlargement of the right atrium, normal or reduced pulmonary vasculature.

X Ray

A chest x-ray can be normal in mild cases. In severe cases it may be helpful in the diagnosis of Ebsteins anomaly. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of Ebsteins anomaly include[1][2] :

  • A large globular heart with a narrow waist due to enlargement of the right atrium
  • A box-shaped heart can be seen sometimes
  • Pulmonary vasculature can be either normal or reduced
  • Cardiac silhouette may appear normal
