Overview
Echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of POEMS syndrome. Findings suggestive of POEMS syndrome include pericardial effusion, left ventricular hypertrophy with moderately impaired systolic function, pulmonary hypertension, seroperitoneum, and hepatosplenomegaly.
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
Echocardiography
Echocardiography may be helpful in the diagnosis of POEMS syndrome. Findings suggestive of POEMS syndrome include:
- Pericardial effusion
- Left ventricular hypertrophy with moderately impaired systolic function[1]
- Pulmonary hypertension[1]
Ultrasound
Abdominal ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of POEMS syndrome. Findings suggestive of POEMS syndrome include:
- Ascites[1]
- Hepatosplenomegaly
