disease
Pulmonary congestion refers to blood stasis in local blood vessels of the lung, usually caused by Left heart failure Cause, left Cardiac cavity Internal pressure Elevated, obstructing the lungs Venous reflux , causing pulmonary congestion. When pulmonary congestion occurs, the volume of the lung increases, and it is dark red, and foam red bloody liquid flows out from the section. The clinical manifestations of patients with pulmonary congestion are shortness of breath, hypoxia Cyanosis cough When coughing up a lot of serous Pink foam sputum The primary disease causing pulmonary congestion should be actively investigated and treated according to the cause.

1. ECG
Past can be found miocardial infarction Left ventricle Hypertrophy, extensive myocardial damage and Arrhythmia Etc.
2. Chest X-ray film
so Cardiac enlargement , pulmonary congestion, pulmonary edema and original Pulmonary diseases
(1) Diagnostics pericardium , myocardial or valve disease.
(2) Differentiate between diastolic dysfunction and systolic dysfunction.
(3) Quantitative or qualitative atrioventricular diameter, heart geometry , wall thickness, wall motion, pericardium, valve and vascular structure, quantitative valve stenosis and insufficiency, measurement Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricle End diastole And end of shrinkage volume (LVEDV, LVESV).
(4) Estimation Pulmonary artery pressure
(5) Provide for evaluation of treatment effect Objective indicators
4. Heart failure markers
Type B Natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT proBNP) are markers of patients with heart failure. After treatment, the value can be reduced.

heart failure The clinical manifestations of the left ventricle or atrium were closely related to the involvement of the left ventricle or atrium. Left heart failure The clinical characteristics of left atrium And/or left ventricular failure Congestion pulmonary edema and Right heart failure The clinical characteristics of right atrium And/or right ventricular failure Systemic circulation Venous congestion and Retention of water and sodium
1. Left heart failure
(1) Dyspnea: the earliest and most common symptom of left heart failure. Mainly due to acute or chronic pulmonary congestion and vital capacity Caused by reduction. Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea It is a manifestation of left heart failure. Patients often wake up in deep sleep, feel suffocated, and are forced to sit up, cough Frequent, with severe dyspnea.
(2) Cough and hemoptysis: common symptoms of left heart failure.
(3) Others: fatigue, insomnia palpitation Etc.
2. Right heart failure
(1) Epigastrium Bulging: It is an early symptom of right heart failure. Often accompanied by Anorexia , nausea, vomiting and upper abdomen Distention pain
(2) Jugular vein engorgement: it is an obvious case of right heart failure sign
(3) Edema: Heart failure Sexual edema usually occurs first in the lower limbs Sunken edema In severe cases, the whole body may be affected, and the edema of lower limbs may appear or worsen more than in the evening, and may be relieved or disappeared after a night's rest.
(4) Cyanosis: Most patients with right heart failure have different degrees of cyanosis.
(5) nervous system Symptoms: nervousness, insomnia Lethargy And other symptoms.
(6) Cardiac signs: mainly original heart disease Performance.
The clinical manifestations of left and right heart failure can exist at the same time, and the clinical manifestations of left or right heart failure can be the main.

Find out the primary disease causing pulmonary congestion and treat it according to the cause. hypertension Left ventricle For those with hypertrophy ACEI Calcium channel blocker Beta blocker It can not only reduce blood pressure, but also inhibit and reduce hypertrophic myocardial mass.
