A member asked:

Does normal chest x-ray rule out rightsided heartfailure? sob, chestpain, tachycardia, blue nails, pale, extreme fatigue, weak arms/legs, swollen.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not at all: A CXR is minimally helpful in the diagnosis of right sided HF. An echocardiogram is the test of choice along with a thorough history and physical examination.
