Congenital heart disease
ARDS is diagnosed after cardiogenic pulmonary edema and other causes of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and bilateral infiltrates have been excluded

in the setting of increased venous return
High-output HF should be suspected in patients with HF but well-perfused extremities,
an increase in systemic venous return to the right heart;
decreased LV pressure and chamber size after LVAD implantation cause interventricular septal bowing,
which may worsen RV mechanics with decrease in RV stroke volume
pericardial effusion or hematoma
●Chronic PH
Evaluation of suspected PH includes transthoracic echocardiography, which may provide an estimate of pulmonary artery systolic pressure and guide further evaluation, as discussed separately.
Over sustained periods of time, ventricular dilation and deterioration in systolic function are much greater in the RV than the LV in HFpEF,
