Abstract
Massive hemoptysis is a life-threatening emergency that rarely occurs in association with heart failure and is even less frequent when the underlying cause is dilated myocardiopathy. We report the case of a 69-year-old man with undiagnosed heart disease who presented with severe hemoptysis. Images showed evident cardiac insufficiency. The unusualness of the case obliged us to rule out other diseases through differential diagnosis before starting to treat the underlying condition.
