Heart failure pulmonary edema

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. 

Mitochondrial P oxidation of fatty acids is the principal source of energy for the heart. Consequently, inherited defects of fatty acid oxidation or of carnitine-assisted transport often appear as serious heart disease (inherited cardiomyopathy). These may involve heart failure, pulmonary edema, or sudden infant death. 

Symptoms include fever, chills, headache, tremor, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, malaise and muscle/joint aches and pains, and generalized weakness. Less frequently reported but serious and occasionally fatal adverse events include cardiorespiratory events (dyspnea, shortness of breath, bronchospasm/wheezing, tachypnea, respiratory arrest/failure/distress, cardiovascular collapse, cardiac arrest, angina/myocardial infarction, chest pain/tightness, tachycardia, hypertension, hypotension including profound shock, heart failure, pulmonary edema, adult respiratory distress syndrome, hypoxemia, apnea and arrhythmias) and neuro-psychiatric events. 

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...

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 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. 

IV Relief of severe pain pain of Ml used preoperatively to sedate the patient and allay apprehension, facilitate anesthesia induction, and reduce anesthetic dosage control postoperative pain relieve anxiety and reduce left ventricular work by reducing preload pressure treatment of dyspnea associated with acute left ventricular failure and pulmonary edema produce anesthesia for open-heart surgery. 

The usual cause of pulmonary edema is acute left ventricular failure. The sequelae of events after left heart failure roughly follow the pattern of reduced stroke volume, leading to increased end-systolic and diastolic volume, which elevates left ventricular end-diastolic pres-... 

The principal use of theophylline is in the management of asthma. It is also used to treat the reversible component of airway obstruction associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and to relieve dyspnea associated with pulmonary edema that develops from congestive heart failure. 

Arrhythmias, stroke, transient ischemic attacks, congestive heart failure (CHF), pulmonary edema, and myocardial infarction (Ml) occur rarely with interferon alfa-2a,...
