Abstract

Discerning the cause of dyspnea and hypoxemia in complex patients can be difficult. We describe the “real world” application of an innovative methodology to untangle the underlying physiology in a patient with multiple comorbidities. This case further demonstrates the importance of applying physiology to interrogate the underlying cause of a patient’s symptoms when treatment based on probability fails.
