Hi all,

Is there anyone has "Bilateral Cardiophrenic Fat Pads Suspected" in X-Ray test? My test is clean. No TB or any other abnormalities detected. Everything is normal but it says "Bilateral Cardiophrenic Fat Pads Suspected ". Google says it is a fat between heart and diaphragm. I am not sure if it impacts your immigration application? Any thought?

Thanks,

Not a medical professional but it doesn't appear to require treatment. It's just an incidental finding.
"While cardiphrenic fat pad is due to either Coronary artery disease, Viseral obesity, pericardial effusion, exogenous steroid administration, morgagni hernia, pericardial cyst. Any how cardiophrenic fat pad is incidental finding and doesn't need treatment."

Besides, the medical cost threshold for medical inadmissibility has recently been increased to 3 times the previous level, so I wouldn't really worry. There may be additional tests as a specialist may be consulted by IRCC but since it may not require immediate treatment, it probably would not matter ultimately. Just my $0.02
