Abstract

A 70-year-old woman, with a past medical history of permanent atrial fibrillation, cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallstones and obesity (54 kg/m² body mass index), was admitted to the hospital for rapidly increasing dyspnea (NYHA class III). At admission, heart rate was 110 beats per minute (bpm) and blood pressure was 125/73 mmHg. Physical examination revealed clinical signs of right heart failure including major peripheral oedema, hepatomegaly, bilateral pleural effusion, and ascites with no signs of portal hypertension or hepatocellular insufficiency.
