TECHNIQUE: PA and lateral chest views were reviewed in comparison with prior chest radiographs through ___ to ___. Concurrently, chest CT from ___ was reviewed.

INDICATION: COPD, progressive dyspnea on exertion, and diastolic heart failure, right lower lobe opacity on chest CT, for assessment.

FINDINGS:
Two leads from the left pectoral ICD device end in the right atrium and right ventricle respectively.
No new discrete opacities.
Moderately enlarged heart size is unchanged.
Mediastinal and hilar contours are unremarkable.
Since ___, mild pulmonary interstitial edema has improved.
Moderate left pleural effusion appears minimally worse.
Small right pleural effusion and accompanying right lower lung opacity, mostly atelectasis is overall similar.
Increased retrocardiac density and lower lung opacity, which is atelectasis and/or consolidation has improved.
Discrete, right lower lobe soft tissue density opacity, appreciated on chest CT dated ___ is beyond the resolution of chest radiograph.
