Is Accentuation Of BV Markings In Both Lungs Serious?

Thanks for your question on HCM. In my opinion you should not worry about accentuated lung marking. As it is the normal finding on chest x ray. It is due to gravity dependent high blood flow in the lung bases. So blood circulation is more in bases and this appears more white on chest x ray. So accentuated bronchovascular markings are seen. No need to worry for this. I advice Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) to rule out bronchitis as a cause for your breathing difficulty. And bronchitis gives appearance of prominent BV markings too. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done PFT.
