A member asked:
If you had heart failure would signs of it show up on an x-ray and ct?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The diagnosis of right heart failure is mainly clinical and based on echo findings. Secondary features of heart failure may show up on a chest x-ray or CT scan, but it is not the diagnostic test of choice.
