Cardiac Function in Swimming-Induced Pulmonary Edema (SIPE)

Conditions: Swimming Induced Pulmonary Edema (SIPE), Pulmonary Edema, Lung Diseases, Heart Function Tests

Sex: All

Ages: 18 Years – N/A

Healthy volunteers: Yes

Enrollment: 120

Sponsor: Dalarna County Council, Sweden

Summary

Acute or chronic cardiac dysfunction could be a contributing factor to swimming-induced pulmonary edema (SIPE). Knowledge on cardiac function in SIPE is limited and recommendations for cardiac evaluation of patients with SIPE are lacking. The present study was designed to assess cardiac function in patients with SIPE and in asymptomatic swimmers.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: for patients: * respiratory symptoms during or after swimming at the Vansbrosimningen open water swimming event * diagnosis SIPE by signs of pulmonary edema on lung ultrasound * peripheral oxygen saturation ≤95% for controls: * completion of a swimming race of the Vansbrosimningen open water swimming event. * no respiratory symptoms during or after swimming * no signs of pulmonary edema on lung ultrasound * matched to patients with SIPE regarding sex and age Exclusion criteria: * declined consent * hemodynamic instability or decreased consciousness
