X ray shows pleural effusion left side.It is difficult to detect pericardial effusion in a chest xray.You may need to do a echo to detect pericardial effusion.
As per xray scan

Most likely right side lower lungs .
Which causes enlarged cardiac shadow.
Get 2d echo and Hrct chest.
For rulling out effusion get USG chest done .
And consult with your Doctor.
