What Does A Shadow Around The Heart Indicate?
My daughter just turned 40. She is overweight and 5 years ago when she gave Burt she was hospitalized with congestive heart failure. She was told today that test showed she had a 10% shadow around her heart. What exactly is that and the cause. Thank you.
