Abstract

Systolic heart failure has been previously recognized as a cause of reversible mediastinal lymphadenopathy (MLN). Other causes of MLN include sarcoidosis, various malignancies, pulmonary infections, and occupational lung diseases. There are, however, no reports of MLN in patients with diastolic heart failure.
