A member asked:
Is rightsided heartfailure visible on a chest x-ray?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually no: Sometimes there are some signs that can be associated with right heart failure but a chest xray is not generally able to confirm or rule out right sided heart failure as the findings are usually non-specific.
