57-year-old female with 4 chamber enlargement consistent with a dilated cardiomyopathy.
CXR showed cardiomegaly with a triangular shaped heart
CT confirmed 4 chamber cardiomegaly with pulmonary hypertension. The left atrium (LA) measured 5cms, the right atrium was 8.2cms, right ventricle 4.9cms, left ventricle 5.7cms, and PA 3.5cms. LV thickness was 1.4cms
On the coronal view the triangular shaped RV dominated the shape of the heart. There was mild tricuspid regurgitation

35 year old patient with severe mitral stenosis . with left atrial enlargement (LAE) characterized by elevation of the left mainstem bronchus, straightening of the left heart border, and prominence of the upper 1/3 of the posterior border of the heart. The right atrium is also enlarged characterized by a rotund right heart border. There is right ventricular enlargement characterized by filling in of the retrosternal airspace.
