    The chest radiograph showed an enlarged heart, dilated azygos vein, and peribronchial cuffing in addition to Kerley's A, B, and C lines. Kerley's A lines are opacities extending from the lung edges to the center caused by distended lymphatic channels. Kerley's B lines are short horizontal lines at the lung bases representing edema of the tissue between lung lobes. Kerley's C lines are reticular opacities at the lung bases showing Kerley's B lines from the front. These radiologic findings and physical exam suggest fluid in the lungs from heart issues. The patient's condition improved with diuretics and vasodilators.

    A chest radiograph showed an enlarged cardiac silhouette, a dilated azygos vein, and

    peribronchial cuffing, in addition to Kerley's A, B, and C lines. Kerley's A lines (arrows) are linear
    opacities extending from the periphery to the hila; they are caused by distention of anastomotic
    channels between peripheral and central lymphatics. Kerley's B lines (white arrowheads) are short
    horizontal lines situated perpendicularly to the pleural surface at the lung base; they represent
    edema of the interlobular septa. Kerley's C lines (black arrowheads) are reticular opacities at the
    lung base, representing Kerley's B lines en face. These radiologic signs and physical findings
    suggest cardiogenic pulmonary edema. The patient's condition improved on treatment with
    diuretics and vasodilators.
