Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
This is not a concerning finding for her age and it indicates just a slightly enlarged heart and some small signs of vascular congestion This may be sign of arterial hypertension and small lung atelectasis and it should not threaten her. She should just take her regular medications and check blood pressure regularly.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health
