HIRSCHHAUT SCHOR, ELIZABETH; DELGADO MOSQUERA, CARMEN JULIA  y  CORTEZ MONTERO, MARÍA GABRIELA. Lung Ultrasound in Cardiology: A Window to Pulmonary Edema. Rev. argent. cardiol. [online]. 2019, vol.87, n.6, pp.485-490.  Epub 01-Nov-2019. ISSN 1850-3748.  http://dx.doi.org/10.7775/rac.es.v87.i6.16767.

Pulmonary Ultrasound, a technique that has innovated the way of doing ultrasound and cardiology, basing the interpretation of the image on artefacts and modifying the diagnostic and therapeutic approach of patients with heart disease. The cardiologist can perform pulmonary ultrasound with the transducer and echocardiography screen settings and must recognize the 4 ultrasound patterns: Aerated / Dry Lung Pattern, Wet or Interstitial Lung, Pleural Effusion and Consolidation. The Interstitial Pattern is the basis of the applications of this technique in the cardiological area, which are summarized in 7 clinical situations: differential diagnosis of dyspnea, heart failure syndrome, identification of acute respiratory distress, extreme situations such as high altitude edema, apnea diving and iron man, dialysis nephropaths, Acute coronary syndrome and alveolo-capillary stress ultrasound test. Cardiopulmonary ultrasound is proposed as mandatory and not optional for the cardiologist.
