Heart failure is a clinical syndrome characterized by decreased cardiac output, leading to systemic organ hypoxia and resulting in dyspnea, pulmonary edema, organ congestion, and pleural effusion. Owing to the diverse clinical manifestations of heart failure, early diagnosis can be challenging, and misd...

Pulmonary findings include early inspiratory basilar crackles that do not clear with coughing and, if pleural effusion is present, dullness to percussion and diminished breath sounds at the lung base(s). Signs of RV failure include Nontender peripheral pitting edema (digital pressure leaves visible ...
Signs of right-sided heart failure, including pleural effusion and ascites, may be present. Hypothermia is a common finding on physical examination. Sudden cardiac death occurs most likely from pulmonary artery obstruction.34,45 Thoracic radiographs should be obtained and may show pleural effusion and...
Most of the myxomas are asymptomatic; the right atrial myxomas present with obstructive features like dyspnoea, syncope, right side heart failure; rarely it can cause left ventricular overload and biventricular heart failure, as in our case. Transesophageal echocardiography is superior for precise ...
Pleural effusions are common in patients with congestive heart failure. However, there is a need to assess systematically the correlation between effusion volume, extravascular lung water and echocardiographic parameters. We used combined cardiopulmonary
