This Chest XRAY depicts a large hiatal hernia.  on the AP, it looks almost as if the heart is a water bottle half full (or half empty for you Debbie Downer’s out there). Also COPD id demonstrated with the hyper-inflated lungs and paucity of soft tissues, and a right sided pacemaker. Notice on the lateral how his calcified aorta has to circumnavigate the hernia.
