A weird old medical tale from lockdown. This chest CT is that of a 46 y.o. male patient who turned up last year at an emergency department in northern Italy. He had started to suffer from repeated attacks of 'massive' haemoptysis (coughing up blood). What might be the cause?

Why does catamenial pneumothorax (pneumothorax that recurs with menstruation) almost always occur on the right side?
Why doesn't it affect both sides of the chest equally?

-Pleural effusions w/ CHF occur bilaterally, historically ‘more common on the R side’?
-Do patients w/ CHF tend to sleep in the R lateral decubitus (RLD)?
-Pericardial effusions uncommon w/ CHF?

Why do patients with advanced heart failure often develop the Cheyne-Stokes breathing pattern?
To understand this phenomenon we'll have to explore circulatory flow time and the concept of loop gain.
And no this tracing isn't Torsades de Pointes 😉
