Upper zone vascular prominence
Upper zone vascular prominence
- Enlarged heart (CTR = 55%)
- The upper zone vessels are prominent – an indicator of increased pulmonary venous pressure
- Signs of pulmonary oedema have also developed – septal lines (Kerley B lines) due to interstitial oedema, and airspace shadowing due to alveolar oedema
- The costophrenic angles are blunt due to bilateral pleural effusions
