CXR in 2 views 3 months earlier shows cardiomegaly with left atrial enlargement, LV enlargement (lateral exam) cephalization without interstitial edema consistent with mild CHF
Ashley Davidoff MD 116792b01 and 116792b01
CT scan 1 month prior showing bi atrial enlargement LVE, early pulmonary hypertension and small pericardial effusion
Axial CT scan through the left atrium shows enlargement of the left atrium
Ashley Davidoff MD 116792b04
Axial CT scan through the level of the right atrium shows enlargement of the right atrium and a small pericardial effusion, low density blood consistent with anemia
Ashley Davidoff MD 116792b05
Axial CT scan through the level of the LV shows enlargement of the left ventricle, a small pericardial effusion, low density blood consistent with anemia, and a suggestion of fat in the ventricular septum most often associated with a prior myocardial infarction
Ashley Davidoff MD 116792b06
Axial CT scan through the level of the LV suggests enlargement of the left ventricle (5cms is upper limits normal) , normal sized RV, a small pericardial effusion, and low density blood consistent with anemia.
Ashley Davidoff MD 116792b07
Axial CT scan through the level of the coronary arteries shows mild to moderate atherosclerotic calcification of the proximal LAD and circumflex as well as LA enlargement

MRI showing apical edema, extensive mid-myocardial enhancement, RVH and pericardial effusion
T2 Axial MRI through the level of the LV shows edema of the apex of the LV and a small pericardial effusion.

MRI in the short axis through the level of the LV and LA shows RV thickening and a pericardial effusion
Ashley Davidoff MD 116793b03 short axis

 

 

MRI, LGE series in the short axis through the level of the LV and RV shows mid ventricular LGE in the left ventricular septum extending to the anterior and anterolateral wall.
Ashley Davidoff MD 116797b
MRI, LGE series in the short axis through the level of the LV and RV shows mid ventricular LGE in the left in the anterior wall of the LV as well as the free wall of the thickened RV. There are patchy changes in the inferior wall in mid ventricular location
Ashley Davidoff MD 116797b01
MRI, LGE series in the short axis through the level of the LV and RV shows mid ventricular LGE in the anterior wall of the LV
Ashley Davidoff MD 116796
MRI, LGE series in the long axis through the level of the LV shows mid ventricular LGE in the left in the anterior wall of the LV as well as inferior wall of the thickened LV. RV free wall is also involved with LGE noted in the free wall
Ashley Davidoff MD 116796
MRI, LGE series in the long axis through the level of the LV shows mid ventricular LGE in the left in the anterior wall of the LV as well as inferior wall of the thickened LV. RV free wall is also involved with LGE noted
