Abstract
- Acute pulmonary edema in patients undergoing hemodialysis is a common cause of hospital admission and is often associated with fluid overload or congestive heart failure. Here, we report a rare case of chordae rupture and consequent severe mitral valve regurgitation due to infective endocarditis presenting as sudden onset pulmonary edema after properly conducted hemodialysis.
