    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Raynaud's phenomenon can be associated with various underlying conditions.
    • Right-sided cardiac failure necessitates thorough etiological investigation.

    Observation:

    • A 50-year-old female presented with a history of Raynaud's phenomenon and acute right-sided cardiac failure.
    • Hemodynamic assessment using a Swan-Ganz catheter suggested pulmonary veno-occlusive disease.

    Findings:

    • The diagnosis of pulmonary veno-occlusive disease was confirmed by necropsy findings.
    • No evidence of connective tissue disease was found clinically, in laboratory tests, or histologically.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights pulmonary veno-occlusive disease as a critical differential diagnosis in patients with Raynaud's phenomenon and cardiac failure.
