AbstractTwo patients with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome developed acute pulmonary edema following intravenous fluid administration. Both recovered with diuretic therapy. In neither case was there evidence of persistent severe left ventricular dysfunction, nor was there evidence (either clinically or by thallium study) of flow limiting coronary lesions or of cardiac uptake of iodine-123 meta-iodobenzylguanidine, pointing to ventricular sympathetic neuropathy. It is hypothesized that destruction of the cardiac sympathetics contributed importantly to the development of pulmonary edema following the intravenous fluid load.
