The Correct Answer is AHeart size is usually normal early in the course of common congenital heart disease. This is true of coarctation of the aorta, aortic stenosis, pulmonic stenosis, tetralogy of Fallot, and tricuspid artesia. In transposition of the great vessels, however, a roentgenogram will show a large, egg-shaped heart with a narrow supra-cardiac stalk.
