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 Findings
Mild Cases
The chest x-ray may be normal in patients with mild disease.
Severe Disease
- Massive cardiomegaly with a balloon shaped globular 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.
Chest X Ray Example
Shown below is the chest x-ray of a patient with Ebstein's anomaly which demonstrates cardiomegaly:
