Key result
Aqua jogging is linked to reversible pulmonary oedema in a healthy 43-year-old male.
Why the study?
Pulmonary oedema has been reported in healthy scuba-divers and swimmers but not previously during aqua jogging.
Case Report (n=1)
This is the first reported case of pulmonary oedema occurring during aqua jogging in a healthy individual.
Alerts clinicians to pulmonary oedema risk in aqua jogging; leaves open whether this extends known triggers and requires prospective confirmation.
The present study reports the case of a 43-yr-old very sporty male, who developed shortness of breath and expectorated bloody froth during aqua jogging. Pulmonary oedema was diagnosed clinically and by computed tomography of the chest. The patient made a full recovery and his echocardiography was entirely normal. Pulmonary oedema occurring in healthy scuba-divers and swimmers has been reported previously. However, this is the first case where pulmonary oedema was observed during aqua jogging.

Wenger et al. (2007) conducted a case report in Pulmonary oedema (n=1). Aqua jogging was evaluated on Pulmonary oedema. Aqua jogging was associated with the development of pulmonary oedema in a healthy 43-year-old male, who subsequently made a full recovery.
