Answer
Hello!
Chest X-ray is an indirect test that evaluates the condition of the heart and lungs. Therefore, it also has many limitations. To determine the details of your condition, you can do additional tests such as echocardiography and computed tomography of the chest, or visit a cardiologist. Wish you all the best!
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System, looking forward to meeting you in person for more specific advice. Best regards!
