Abstract:
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are widely used and relatively safe medications. We report here an uncommon case of fluid retention simulating acute congestive heart failure, secondary to aspirin consumption, promptly reversible after discontinuation of therapy, and triggered again by pharmacological challenge test.
