What is a prominent cardio phrenic fat pad constant finding since 2008 on chest x-ray? where did it come from? norm?please exp. age 60. 5'6" weigh 160
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is normal.: Everyone has a little triangle of fat at the tip of their heart. It may get smaller or larger as BMI changes. Your BMI is slightly overweight but not obese. I would not let the fat pad bother me, but I would make sure that I kept my BMI in the healthy range.
