Med student learning to look at chest xrays. Confused about BNP and heart failure and 'pulmonary congestion'. The other day heart was large bilateral effusions and BNP about 600 and radiologist said no failure. Any simple explanations?

That failure is not a radiographic diagnosis.
BNP of 600, the patient very likely has CHF..
