AbstractThis case report describes the case of a patient that developed suddenly dyspnea, cough and hemoptysis while swimming. Under the clinical presentation of pulmonary edema she required short-term invasive ventilation. Initially, echocardiography showed globally highly reduced systolic left ventricular function, which rapidly normalized. After exclusion of other pulmonary or cardiac causes swimming-induced pulmonary edema was diagnosed. This should be considered in cases of pulmonary edema, particularly in patients practicing sports with contact to water.© 2021. Springer Medizin Verlag GmbH, ein Teil von Springer Nature.
