Why do they require a chest x-ray? I understand having an EKG but a chest x-ray?

Because it can show a variety of things on the X-ray from an enlarged heart, Fluid around the lungs or any heart/lung disease. Just routine for most surgeries

I requested one because of a family history of enlarged heart.

It can detect pneumonia, lung tumors and lesions, enlarged heart. The last thing you want to do...is anesthetize a person with an active lung infection or an undiagnosed pulmonary issue.

Breathing is important.
