Cardiogenic edema, generally due to cardiac insufficiency and resulting in generalized edema, has the main clinical manifestations of hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, ascites, pleural effusion and edema of both lower extremities, and in severe cases there may be facial edema. Once this occurs, active conditioning of cardiac function is required. In terms of regulating cardiac function, there are first of all medications, such as cardiotonic and diuretic drugs, such as digoxin, spironolactone and torasemide; drugs to improve myocardial remodeling, such as sakubatril valsartan and metoprolol succinate; and drugs for intravenous infusion, such as recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide and levosimendan, as well as adjuvant drugs to nourish the myocardium, including coenzyme q10. Through treatment, edema will be reduced or even disappear when cardiac function improves. In addition, it is important to pay attention to regular observation, to take drugs regularly and quantitatively, and to adjust the dosage of drugs according to the results of the review.
