An Unusual Etiology of Severe Right Heart Failure Deserving of Wider Recognition
A previously healthy 31-year-old man presented with worsening shortness of breath and a petechial rash. Echocardiography showed severe right-sided heart failure with midsystolic notching of the antegrade right ventricular outflow Doppler envelope suggesting pulmonary hypertension. An extensive work-...

| description | A previously healthy 31-year-old man presented with worsening shortness of breath and a petechial rash. Echocardiography showed severe right-sided heart failure with midsystolic notching of the antegrade right ventricular outflow Doppler envelope suggesting pulmonary hypertension. An extensive work-up revealed scurvy, with a dramatic resolution of symptoms shortly after vitamin C supplementation. |
