Left heart failure:
Heart enlargement with the apex downward to thediaphragm
Depend on the severity
1. Cranialization / cephalization (PCWP 10-15 mmHg)
2. Interstitial pulmonary edema (PCWP 20-25 mmHg)
3. Alveolar pulmonary edema (PCWP >25 mmHg)

PULMONARY EDEMA Cranialization / cephalization
Pulmonary veins at the superior part of the lung >3-5:1
than the pulmonary veins at the inferior part of the lung.
Vascular marking at the superior part of the lung is more
crowded than the inferior part of the lung.
Measure at equidistant from the hilar point.
Mechanism:
Decreased vascular compliance at the lung base.
Hypoxic vasoconstriction phenomenon

Alveolar pattern results from flooding of the end air spaces (acini)with fluid (pus, blood, edema) only rarely with cellular material. Asindividual acini become filled the fluid spreads to adjacent onesthrough the interalveolar pores. This results in the typicalradiographic pattern of a poorly margined ("fluffy") density. Thedensities may spread and their borders coalesce. This may progressuntil all acini within a lung lobe are filled. There may be a sharpborder at the edge of a lung lobe due to the pleura blocking furtherspread of the fluid into the adjacent lung lobe. As the number offluid filled adjacent acini increases, the air filled, large and mediumsized bronchi become evident as linear radiolucent branching
structures (air bronchogram). The air-filled bronchi are surroundedby a fluid density and the bronchial wall and adjacent vessel are notseen. When a bronchus branches perpendicular to the x-ray beam itwill be seen as a round radiolucent dot.
