Variations: Were exams performed at same institution. You should make sure that they are compared as far as cardiac size and technique of exams being similar.Sometimes statement of enlarged heart and overexpanded lungs is subjective and can differ from one interpreter to another. You as patient and consumer have right to ask questions and additional review particularly if no associated iclinical findings.
