  3. Heart size and shape. Changes in the size and shape of the heart can indicate heart failure, fluid around the heart (pericardial effusion), or heart valve problems.
  4. Blood vessel. The location of the great vessels close to the heart, aorta, pulmonary arteries, and veins is seen on X-rays. That’s why conditions like aortic aneurysm, or other blood vessel problems as well as congenital heart disease can be seen.
