- aneurysmal dilatation of the ascending aorta, aortic arch and descending aorta with a spiral intimal flap is seen denoting aortic dissection
- mild dilatation of the left atrium with concentric hypertrophy of the left ventricle, no gross cardiomegaly. No pericardial effusion

- small bilateral basal atelectatic bands
- mild para-cardiac bat-wing alveolar haze suggestive of mild bilateral pulmonary edema with probably pulmonary venous hypertension
