| | OSA, which was present in nine of the 15 patients, was the most common condition associated with bilateral leg edema, followed by systemic hypertension. | | | Echocardiography may have an important role in the evaluation of leg edema, the authors suggested. | | | Just as Heliobacter pylori turned out to be a common infection that went unrecognized for decades, so will edema associated with OSA eventually be recognized as a common condition that long went unrecognized," predicted Dr. Blankfield. |

| | Pulmonary edema is a condition in which fluid accumulates in the lungs, usually because the heart's left ventricle does not pump adequately. | | | Most patients with pulmonary edema who seek immediate treatment can be treated quickly and effectively. | | | Non-invasive pressure support ventilation is a new treatment for pulmonary edema in which the patient breathes against a continuous flow of positive airway pressure, delivered through a face or nasal mask. |

| | A helpful feature in distinguishing cardiac pulmonary edema from non cardiac pulmonary edema and from widespread exudates, such as pneumonia, is the speed with which the edema appears and disappears. | | | Since both cardiac and non-cacdiac disease can produce pulmonary edema, the physician should be aware of underlyieng conditions that can be precipitating the problem. | | | We must remenber that acute pulmonary edema is a dynamic medical emergency and, as such, treatment must be set up as soon as the diagnosis is suspected, and the patient must be frequently examined. |
