An Unusual Case of a Massive Cardiomegaly

Abstract

We report a case of a 74-year-old woman that was admitted in the emergency department complaining of severe leg edema, progressive and persistent dyspnea at rest, easy fatiguability and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea aggravated over the past 4 months. According to her personal and medical history, she had been not attending to her medical appointments and, therefore, missed the close heart failure (HF) monitoring that was demanded.
