HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
A chest x ray can take a look at the lungs and heart as well as the ribs.
Increased bronchovascular markings may indicate that there was a recent infection that has likely resolved since it states that the lung fields are clear.
It indicates that the heart is enlarged but this needs to be confirmed by an echo which is mentioned in the report.
I hope this helps
