* [[Cardiomegaly]]
In patients with [[aortic insufficiency]], chest radiograph may show [[cardiomegaly]], a prominent aortic root with valvular calcification, [[prosthetic valve]] dislodgement or aortic dilation. If aortic insufficiency is severe, signs of [[pulmonary edema]] may also be present.
*[[Aortic]] dilation
* Increased cardiac silhouette (suggestive of [[aortic dissection]])
* Widened [[mediastinum]] (suggestive of aortic root dilation)
*[[Pulmonary congestion]] (suggestive of pulmonary edema or pulmonary hypertension in severe AR)
*Prominent [[aortic root]]
*[[Aortic valve calcification]]
*[[Prosthetic valve]] dislodgement


Below is a chest radiograph showing left ventricular enlargement secondary to chronic aortic insufficiency as a result of increased left ventricular systolic pressure and volume overload.  
Shown below is a chest radiograph demonstrating [[left ventricular enlargement]] secondary to chronic aortic regurgitation as a result of increased [[left ventricular]] [[systolic]] pressure and volume overload.

Overview

Chest X-ray findings associated with aortic regurgitation may include left ventricular enlargement, cardiomegaly, prominent aortic root with valvular calcification, prosthetic valve dislodgement, or aortic dilation. If aortic regurgitation is severe, signs of pulmonary edema may also be present.[1]

Chest X-Ray

In patients with aortic regurgitation, chest radiograph may demonstrate any of the following findings:[1][2][3]

Shown below is a chest radiograph demonstrating left ventricular enlargement secondary to chronic aortic regurgitation as a result of increased left ventricular systolic pressure and volume overload.
