HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Cardiomegaly means that the heart is enlarged, it may be significant or minor enlargement.
One common cause is high blood pressure. It can be associated with heart failure in some persons.
Atelectasis is collapse of an area of the lung. Based on the description, it is possible that she had an infection of the lung.
Diffuse osteopenia means that there is weakening of the bone. This may or may not lead to osteoporosis.
I hope this helps
