HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the cardiomegaly being detected in x-ray so it must be due long standing hypertension or may be some heart disease, unfolded aorta is due to age and rest of the finding are not indicates any abnormalities, if this is the cardiac asthma then it needs to be given treatment in that manner only, you mother may need medial attention and further investigations hope this information helps.
