A member asked:

Would cardiomegaly in a ct and x-ray be a confirmation of congestive heart failure? the cray said mild?

The term cardiomegaly means big heart. It does not mean it is not working well enough to avoid heart failure. (failure to provide for enough blood flow at a rate compatible with normal activities of daily living)Yet you can have both at the same time.

Yes but some are better at reading CHF than others. Ask if they see Kerly B lines.
