My Father had double bypass in 2004, hx HTN, CHF,AFIB,
mesothelioma in R lung, and NIDDM, recently we lost my mother and I had him come to stay with me because he had a bad cough. After 10 days of antibiotics and nebulizer treatments his lungs sound clearer but his chest xray showed the following: Gross cardiomegaly with tortuous ectatic-appearing aorta. No CHF or acute progress, no infiltrates or effusions. My question is how serious is this heart condition? His heart rate is usually 40s and 50s and irregular Bp 150/60 or lower. he is on a number of cardio medications
