General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

This X-ray report suggests that the mentioned person has a cardiomyopathy that is defined as a disease of the heart muscle with associated respiratory infection. The next most logical step, would be to consult a doctor in order to evaluate and treat the existing respiratory infection.
Also, refer you to an internal medicine specialist in order to properly diagnose the type of cardiomyopathy and prescribe any needed medications in order to treat the disease and halt its progression.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Aleksandar Dimovski,
General & Family Physician
