What is Congestive Cardiac Failure Assessment about?
A 53-year-old female clerk presented with bilateral ankle swelling. Her history revealed exertional dyspnea, nocturnal dyspnea, and palpitations. A physical exam should check for signs of congestive cardiac failure like elevated jugular venous pressure, lung crackles, hepatojugular reflex, and edema. Laboratory tests like BNP, echocardiogram, and chest x-ray can help diagnose the underlying cause, which may be congestive heart failure, deep vein thrombosis, nephrotic syndrome, or hepatic failure.
