May prompt broader differentials for overlapping edema and dyspnea; leaves open etiology and generalizability pending larger studies.
Presentation of CaseA 57-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of progressive edema and exertional dyspnea.The patient had been well until eight weeks earlier, when he was admitted to this hospital because of recurrent chest pain. An electrocardiogram showed a normal rhythm at a rate of 69, with poor R-wave progression in the right precordial leads, and elevated ST segments, with a tendency toward biphasic T waves, in leads V3 through V5. A radiograph of the chest revealed patchy air-space disease in the right lower lobe consistent with pneumonia; the cardiac silhouette was normal. . . .
