heart 8 - kashmala

Physical examination reveals jugular venous disten-
tion in the neck of a 50-year-old male, even when he is
sitting up. He also has an enlarged and tender liver that
can be felt 10 cm below the right costal margin. Pitting
edema is observed on his lower extremities. A chest radio-
graph reveals large pleural effusions. Thoracentesis on the
right yields 500 mL of clear fluid with few cells. The most
likely cause of this clinical picture is
(D (A) Tricuspid valve stenosis
(D (B) Acute myocardial infarction
(D © Puhnonary valve stenosis
(D (D) Chronic obstructive lung disease
(D (E) Primary pulmonary hypertension

THE CHEST RADIOGRAPH SHOWS LARGE PLEURAL EFFUSIONS, SO THERE IS PROBABLY SOME TYPE OF INTRINSIC LUNG DISEASE CAUSING THE RIGHT HEART FAILURE. COPD LEADS TO PULMONARY HYPERTENSION AND BACK-UP OF BLOOD IN THE VENOUS SYSTEM.

but fluid from pleura effusion is clear with only few cells,i mean it may be transudate not exudate,somay be not primary lung disease.
