What Does "air Space Infiltration In Lower Lung" Suggest On Chest X-ray?
My domestic worker had a Chest Xray. What does the following mean: Cardiomegaly as well as air space infiltration in lower lung regions. Increased ground glass opifications in both lungs. Vascular prominence centrally. Appearance suggest active atypical infection. May be complicated cardiac decompensation and early air space oedema. She is a known hypertensive.

Hi there,
As she is hypertensive cardiomegaly means a bigger heart in size is expected.
Air space infilteration meaning either it may be some sort of infection or pulmonary edema due to some degree of heart failure.
