Overview

Congestive heart failure should be distinguished from other conditions that cause dyspnea, fatigue and edema.

Disorders That Heart Failure is Confused With

Heart failure is a clinical syndrome of dyspnea, fatigue and edema. There are several disorders that cause heart failure and should not be confused with the syndrome of heart failure.

Other Causes of Dyspnea

There are non-cardiac causes of edema that primarily involve the lung or respiratory system. These conditions are distinguished from heart failure in so far as they do not cause peripheral edema, and they are not be associated with an elevation in BNP.

Other Conditions that Cause Dyspnea that are Emergencies

The following emergency conditions should be excluded when diagnosing a patient with heart failure:

Non Cardiac Causes of Dyspnea

Other Causes of Fatigue

Other Causes of Edema

Other non cardiac causes of pedal edema are listed below. Obviously, the majority of these disorders do not also cause dyspnea and fatigue, and that distinguishes them form heart failure.
