Figure 2
A 42-year-old female with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and acute pulmonary edema. Findings: CT pulmonary angiogram ruled out pulmonary embolus and demonstrated diffuse, bilateral, and central peribronchovascular ground glass opacities and pleural effusions in keeping with pulmonary edema (coronal image, lung windows, (a)), thickening of the interventricular septum measuring up to 22 mm, and left atrial enlargement (cardiac reconstructions, short axis (b), 4-chamber view (c), and 3-chamber view (d)).
