  • Title: [Cardiogenic pulmonary edema in the elderly].
    Author: L'Her E, Millet E, Duquesne F.
    Journal: Rev Prat; 2003 May 01; 53(9):958-61. PubMed ID: 12816033.
    Abstract:
    Heart failure of elderly patients is a frequent disease. It is responsible for recurrent hospitalizations and an important mortality rate. The diagnosis of cardiogenic pulmonary edema may be difficult in elderly patients. In more than 50% of cases, echocardiography shows evidence of diastolic heart failure. Medical treatment mainly relies on high doses nitrates. Non invasive ventilation decreases cardiogenic pulmonary edema morbidity and early mortality.
