Echocardiogram for the man in Case 2. Parasternal short-axis view of left ventricle. (A) Note the septum is flat in end-diastole, indicating elevated right ventricular diastolic pressure. This is in contrast to (B) after diuresis, in which the left ventricle regains a rounded contour and the septum no longer bows into the left ventricle.
