Only bronchiectasis was still present. He was kept on antiretroviral regimen, SMZ/TMP, and chloroquine. He showed good adherence. [scielo.br]

If peripheral edema is present, diuretics may seem appropriate, but they are helpful only if LV failure and pulmonary fluid overload are also present. Diuretics should be used cautiously because small decreases in preload often worsen cor pulmonale. [msdmanuals.com]

Electrocardiography and chest radiography should usually be incorporated into the diagnostic workup. The most frequent electrocardiographic abnormality is the inversion of T waves in the anterior leads, especially leads V1 to V4. [tmj.ro]

• Right Axis Deviation

  Right axis deviation, dominant R wave in V1 and deep S wave in V6 suggest right ventricular hypertrophy due to cor pulmonale. [lifeinthefastlane.com]
