Brief Answer:
Get done CT thorax and 2d echo.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are having heart disease, you should definitely get done 2d echo to rule out worsening of underlying heart disease because early heart failure can also cause such x ray abnormality.
Another possibility is lung diseases so get done CT thorax.
Please let me know
1. Do you have breathlessness on exertion?
2. Do you have edema feet?

No need to worry much.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are not having breathlessness or edema feet, no need to worry for major heart and lung diseases.
In my opinion, you should wait and watch.
Get done repeat chest x ray in November before surgery.
If findings are same then get done CT thorax.
