Pulmonary edema


Alveolar oedema manifests as ill-defined nodular opacities tending to confluence (see image with arrows). Interstitial oedema can be seen as peripheral septal lines - Kerley B lines (arrowheads).

BOX SHAPED HEART

Septal and posterior leaflets of  the tricuspid valve are long and redundant  -and there proximal portion is plastered to the wall of RV particularly along septal wall - result in tricuspid regurgitation

- Proximal portion of RV cavity is “atrialized” but it contracts synchronously with the ventricle 
- RV performance markedly reduced
patent  fortamen  ovale or atrial  septal defect frequently seen - results in Rt-to-lt shunt  inducing central cyanosis
