Physical examination reveals bilateral rales at the lung bases and distended jugular veins. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is significant for sinus tachycardia and voltage criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy. Laboratory evaluation reveals a hemoglobin level of 10.2 g/dL, creatinine of 3.2 mg/dL, and elevated B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP). Chest X-ray shows diffuse bilateral infiltrates.
