Heart failure. Coloured X-ray of the chest of a 92-year-old female patient with heart failure. The patient has pleural effusion, which is the presence of excess fluid in the pleural cavity (between the layers surrounding the lungs). It can impair breathing and is common in patients with heart failure. The patient is fitted with a VVI pacemaker (top right), which supplies electrical pulses to the heart to keep it beating regularly. | |
