Heart failure pulmonary congestion

P. falciparum malaria is a life-threatening emergency. Complications include hypoglycemia, acute renal failure, pulmonary edema, severe anemia (high parasitism), thrombocytopenia, heart failure, cerebral congestion, seizures, coma, and adult respiratory distress syndrome. 

Suggested Alternatives for Differential Diagnosis Acute respiratory distress syndrome, congestive heart failure, pulmonary edema, AIDS, pneumonia, cardiogenic shock, septic shock, phosgene toxicity, phosphine toxicity, salicylate toxicity with pulmonary edema, influenza, plague, tularemia, and anthrax.

Clinical diagnostic use of cTn has been extended to other cardiac diseases (Gupta and de Lemos 2007), and applications include monitoring acute injury from exacerbation of congestive heart failure, pulmonary embolism, sepsis, hypertensive emergency, cardiac trauma, myocarditis, and pericarditis. Also included are chronic conditions with ongoing injury such as congestive heart failure or left ventricular... 

In conventional medicine, diuretics are employed to assist the kidneys in eliminating excess fluid from the body, fluid that accumulates in conditions such as congestive heart failure, pulmonary edema, and liver failure (Brunton et al. 2006). To be clinically useful for such indications, a diuretic must also cause excretion of sodium or sodium chloride ions in order to cause substantial fluid output (Wright 2007). Diuretics may also be employed for relief of conditions such as mild primary hypertension or to increase the flow of urine in cases of urinary... 

Cardiovascular examination should evaluate possible early signs of congestive heart failure. Pulmonary status should be addressed particularly if respirator protection is contemplated. 

Loop diuretics are compounds used to treat congestive heart failure, pulmonary disorders, renal failure, and hypertension (Roland and Rutka 2004). Loop diuretics increase water excretion by inhibiting NaCl reabsorption within the loop of Henle... 

Mild diarrhea and itching have been reported with the administration of vitamin B12. Other adverse reactions that may be seen include a marked increase in RBC production, acne, peripheral vascular thrombosis, congestive heart failure, and pulmonary edema... 

In stroke patients presenting to the ED, the first goal of treatment is immediate cardiac and respiratory stabilization. The systemic blood pressure is most often elevated in the setting of an acute stroke as the result of a catecholamine surge, and if the patient is hypotensive, the clinician should consider a concomitant cardiac process, such as myocardial infarction (MI), congestive heart failure (CHF), or pulmonary embolism (PE).

Suggested Alternatives for Differential Diagnosis Bronchitis, pneumonia, meningitis, gastroenteritis, septic shock, congestive heart failure and pulmonary edema, pleural effusion, costochondritis, prostatitis, adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), HIV infection and AIDS, and Q fever. 

POEMS is an eponym applied to patients with a variety of plasma cell dyscrasias who present with polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, an M protein and skin changes this disorder is also referred to as Crow-Fukase syndrome. Additional manifestations of this disorder are pulmonary hypertension, renal failure, a predisposition to thrombosis and congestive heart failure some of these features are likely to be attributable to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and matrix metalloproteinases, which are often elevated in the plasma of these patients [43]. 

Infantile, generalized cardiomegalic AMD, or Pompe s disease, usually becomes manifest in the first weeks or months of life, with failure to thrive, poor suck, generalized hypotonia and weakness, also termed floppy infant syndrome. Macroglossia is common, as is hepatomegaly, which, however, is rarely severe. There is massive cardio-megaly, with congestive heart failure. Weak respiratory muscles make these infants susceptible to pulmonary infection death usually occurs before the age of 1 year and invariably before the age of 2 years [6].
