Radiographic findings: The trachea is dorsally deviated due to left ventricular enlargement. The proximally ascending aorta appears enlarged on the lateral view. The left atrium was mildly enlarged and appears as a double opacity on the VD image. The cranial lobar vessels are enlarged with the vein slightly larger than the artery. The left ventricular border is enlarged with rounded borders. On the VD images, the descending aorta bows laterally and has a bulge. No evidence of cardiac decompensation at this time (no signs of left heart failure).
