Figure (A) Posteroanterior radiograph showing massive cardiomegaly with a cardiothoracic ratio > 0.7 with near-complete opacification of the right mid-to-lower lung zones and a shift of the mediastinal structures and heart toward the left. (B) Apical 4-chamber echocardiogram view demonstrating a giant left atrium. (C) Thoracic computed tomography scan revealing cardiomegaly with massive left atrium enlargement. (D) Esophagogram showing a prominent impression of the left atrium on the middle and lower parts of the esophagus (E) without evidence of obstruction. LA = left atrium; LV = left ventricle; RA = right atrium. The American Journal of Medicine 2016 129, e335-e336DOI: (10.1016/j.amjmed.2016.05.046) Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
