[[Echocardiography]] is useful in confirming a cardiac or no-cardiac cause of pulmonary edema.  Among cardiac causes, echocardiography can identify if systolic or [[diastolic dysfunction]] is present.  Echocardiography is useful in identify if focal segment wall motion abnormalities are present which would suggest ischemia or [[myocardial infarction]] as an underlying cause. If there is a global impairment of left ventricular function, then this suggests a [[cardiomyopathy]] may be present.

Overview

Echocardiography is useful in confirming a cardiac or no-cardiac cause of pulmonary edema. Echocardiography may identify the presence and severity of valvular causes of pulmonary edema. Echocardiography is helpful in diagnosis of ischemia or myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy as an underlying cause of pulmonary edema. Echocardiography is less sensitive in identifying diastolic dysfunction. Thus, a normal echocardiogram may not rule out cardiogenic pulmonary edema.

Echocardiography

Ultrasound

  • Ultrasound is helpful in the diagnosis of cardiogenic causes of pulmonary edema.[4]
