Abstract

Chylous ascites and chylothorax have rarely been reported as a consequence of severe right heart failure. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of both disorders occurring as a result of ischaemic cardiomyopathy. The autopsy findings and possible mechanisms of production are discussed.
