Unilateral edema may signal acute mitral regurgitation warranting echocardiography; case reports support recognition but leave generalizability open.
Case Report (n=2)
Acute mitral regurgitation with an eccentric jet can present as unilateral cardiogenic pulmonary edema, mimicking primary pulmonary disease and requiring prompt echocardiographic diagnosis.
Kashiura et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Unilateral cardiogenic pulmonary edema associated with acute mitral regurgitation (n=2). Mitral valve replacement was evaluated on Discharge without complications. Two patients with unilateral cardiogenic pulmonary edema due to severe acute mitral regurgitation successfully underwent mitral valve replacement and were discharged without complications.
