Mitral stenosis - X-ray chest PA view


Click on the image for a larger view
The cardiac size is normal, but the left atrial appendage is prominent (LAA in the
annotated image below). Main pulmonary artery (MPA) segement is just outside the
left border, indicating pulmonary hypertension. The enlargement of left pulmonary
artery (LPA) and right pulmonary artery (RPA) are just modest, if at all. The
horizontal fissure is visible, indicating collection of edema fluid in the fissure. The
aortic knuckle (Ao) is also seen well. There is suggestion of Kerley B lines near the
costophrenic angles, but not typical.
