Core Tip	This single-center retrospective exploratory study describes the clinical and echocardiographic profile of patients presenting with cardiogenic pulmonary edema, with particular focus on left and right ventricular systolic function. Admission echocardiographic parameters were examined in relation to the in-hospital course, including mortality, ventilatory support, inotropic support, and intensive care unit stay. In this small cohort, left ventricular systolic annular velocity was significantly lower than right ventricular systolic annular velocity, whereas no echocardiographic parameter showed a significant association with in-hospital mortality. These findings should be interpreted cautiously and considered hypothesis-generating.
