The heart size is at least mild to moderately enlarged. Atherosclerotic calcifications are demonstrated in the aortic knob. Moderate pulmonary edema is demonstrated along with a moderate left and small right pleural effusion. Bibasilar airspace opacities likely reflect compressive atelectasis.

Status post sternotomy, mitral valve prosthesis in place, permanent left-sided pacer with dual intracavitary electrode system, all unchanged. On the right side, the evidence of pleural effusion has again decreased slightly in comparison with the next preceding study of at which time a mild increase of pleural effusion was noted in comparison with an image obtained two days earlier. These variations illustrate difficulties to quantitate pleural effusions on single portable chest views. On the left side, the evidence of pleural effusion is more impressive as it obliterates totally the entire left-sided diaphragm and the density reaches up to the hilar area and beyond. Also noted is an increased amount of pleural density along the mediastinal structures reaching into the left-sided apical area. No pneumothorax is identified.
