Abstract
As part of ageing and with increased longevity of older people, there has been a rise of those with increased left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD). Comorbidities like hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, coronary artery disease and others appear to be contributing to this. Chronic interstitial pulmonary edema may be a part of the presentation of those with elevated LVEDP/LVDD. Progressive valvular heart disease may also complicate the picture and make clinical decision-making difficult. This case report discusses these issues.
