Overview

Routine chest x-ray examination is important in the evaluation of patients with signs or symptoms of congestive heart failure[1], valvular heart disease, pericardial disease, or aortic dissection/aneurysm. The presentation of cardiomegaly, characterized by pulmonary congestion on a chest x-ray, is indicative of a poor prognosis for the patient.[2]

ACC/AHA/ACP–ASIM Guidelines for the Management of Patients With Chronic Stable Angina (Do Not Edit)[3]

Noninvasive Testing-Chest X-Ray (Do Not Edit)[3]

Class I
"1. Chest x-ray in patients with signs or symptoms of congestive heart failure, valvular heart disease, pericardial disease, or aortic dissection/aneurysm. (Level of Evidence: B)"
Class IIa
"1. Chest x-ray in patients with signs or symptoms of pulmonary disease. (Level of Evidence: B)"
Class IIb
"1. Chest x-ray in other patients. (Level of Evidence: C)"

ESC Guidelines- Chest X-Ray for initial diagnostic assessment of angina (DO NOT EDIT) [4]

Class I

1. CXR in patients with suspected heart failure. (Level of Evidence: C)

2. CXR in patients with clinical evidence of significant pulmonary disease. (Level of Evidence: B)
