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.
