Abstract
With the availability of noninvasive tests of cardiac and pulmonary function, one can nearly always distinguish between cardiac and pulmonary causes of dyspnea But an abnormality in one organ can of course produce an abnormality in the other, and sometimes primary disease of both organs coexists. A trial of treatment for heart failure can identify its presence in such cases.Keywords
